They are lovers on opposite sides of a brutal war, with everything at stake
and no possibility of retreat. They can trust no one--especially not each
other.
Major Lord Peter Tremayne is the last man rebel bluestocking Kate Grey should
fall in love with, but when the handsome British viscount commandeers her
home, Kate throws caution to the wind and responds to his seduction. She is on
the verge of surrender when a spy in her own household seizes the opportunity
to steal the military dispatches Tremayne carries, ensuring his disgrace--and
implicating Kate in high treason. Painfully awakened to the risks of war, Kate
determines to put duty ahead of desire, and offers General Washington her
services as an undercover agent in the City of Brotherly Love.
Months later, having narrowly escaped court martial and hanging, Tremayne
returns to decadent, British-occupied Philadelphia with no stomach for his
current assignment--to capture the woman he believes betrayed him. Nor does he
relish the glittering entertainments being held for General Howe's idle
officers. Worse, the glamorous woman in the midst of this social whirl, the
fiancee of his own dissolute cousin, is none other than Kate Grey herself. And
so begins their dangerous dance, between passion and patriotism, between
certain death and the promise of a brave new future together.
