I survived...

Ever since Laura Beckett and Seth Marshall were children, they’ve always loved one another—only, they didn’t realize they were in love until it was too late.

Knowing they can never be wed due to their class difference—he, a schoolteacher-turned-military-captain, and she, an heiress—as well as her arranged, loveless engagement to a Pennsylvanian congressman, Laura attempts to dissuade Seth’s affections by putting up barriers. Only, he scales them. Repeatedly.

Amidst their tentative dance around their plight, Seth is fooled by an insincere offer to trade a prisoner of war, and uses his rank to stage an exchange. Only, the trade fails with fatal consequences. The guilt spirals him headlong into an unhealthy dependence upon Laura’s passionate touch. Unfortunately for the ardent couple, Laura’s father grows deathly ill during their romance, and she must choose between obeying his final wish with her engagement, or following her heart.

With the flames of rebellion sweeping across the colonies, a passionate fire blazes between two unlikely lovers: a rebel spy and a loyalist socialite, whose hearts are torn between their sudden attraction and familial loyalty.

In 1778 America, Benjamin Hoskin and Clara Boyd are on opposing sides of the revolution in every sense of the word—poor, rich, rebel, loyalist—yet after Benjamin’s brother is hanged for treason, their worlds collide when he assumes a mission to spy on Clara’s Tory family.

Benjamin, a bookkeeper-turned-military-spy, infiltrates the Boyd family under a false alias, hoping to charm their British connections, and gather vital information for the American side. Only, he didn’t count on the allure of the middle daughter, a vulgar, brazen young woman with quite the keen eye. While trying to fight his attraction for the sake of familial duty, he struggles to avoid capture…both from the enemy and of his heart.

Clara, a feisty socialite with loyalty towards the king, and complete devotion to her sisters, is fascinated by Benjamin’s prudish mannerisms, shyness, and overall mysterious aura. In her efforts to refine him into a worthy match for her eldest sister, she never expects to develop romantic stirrings for him herself. The fire forging between them leads to Clara discovering Benjamin’s true identity, the catalyst that leaves him injured with limited leg function. When this betrayal forces them to separate, Clara must choose between aiding her own side in the war—her family—or the soft-spoken, handsome rebel, who inexplicably helped her reclaim her self-worth.
