As the Civil War rages between the states, a courageous
pair of spies plunge fearlessly into a maelstrom of
ignorance, deceit, and danger, combining their unique skills
to alter the course of history and break the chains of the
past . . .
Elle Burns is a former slave with a passion for justice and
an eidetic memory. Trading in her life of freedom in
Massachusetts, she returns to the indignity of slavery in
the South—to spy for the Union Army.
Malcolm McCall is a detective for Pinkerton's Secret
Service. Subterfuge is his calling, but he’s facing his
deadliest mission yet—risking his life to infiltrate a Rebel
enclave in Virginia.
Two undercover agents who share a common cause—and an
undeniable attraction—Malcolm and Elle join forces when they
discover a plot that could turn the tide of the war in the
Confederacy's favor. Caught in a tightening web of wartime
intrigue, and fighting a fiery and forbidden love, Malcolm
and Elle must make their boldest move to preserve the Union
at any cost—even if it means losing each other . . .
