A former slave finds danger, intrigue, and passion undercover as a spy in first of this Civil War–era romance series from an award-winning author.
 
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. . .

Really Good!

This book has an interesting plot and manages to be intellectually stimulating and sexy at the same time. I read it during my vacation and really enjoyed it. It’s great escapist reading.

cannot put down

I am usually not a fan of romance novels but this author has a hold on me. After reading ‘when no one is watching’, I had to devour her content. This book , although it is set during the slavery era, is written by a black author. The language that she chooses, the themes and the vibrations felt after reading speaks to her talent. I loved the characters and the fact that I was willing to get lost in this world.
