Recently widowed, Rebecca Parcell is too busyâŻstruggling to maintain her farm in Morristown to give a fig who wins the WarâŻfor Independence. But rumors are spreading in the winter of 1780 that she's a Loyalist sympathizerâŻwho betrayedâŻher husband to the British-quite a tidy way to end her disastrousâŻmarriage, the village gossips whisper.Everyone knows that her husband was a Patriot, a hero who died aboard a BritishâŻprison ship moored in New York Harbor. But "everyone" is wrong. Parcell was a British spy, and GeneralâŻWashington-who spent that winter in Morristown-can prove it. HeâŻswears he'll safeguard Becca's farm if she unravels her husband's secrets. WithâŻa mob ready to exile her or worse, it's an offer she can't refuse.Escaped British prisoner of war Daniel Alloway was the last person to see Becca'sâŻhusband alive, and Washington throws this unlikely couple together on anâŻespionage mission to British-occupied New York City. Moving fromâŻglittering balls to an underworld ofâŻbrothels and prisons, Becca and DanielâŻuncover a plot that threatens the new country's future. But will they moveâŻquickly enough to warn General Washington? And can Becca, who'sâŻlost almostâŻeveryone she loves, fight her growing attraction to Daniel, a man who alwaysâŻmoves on?
