Passed over for an enticing assignment, she jumps at the chance to spy with Thom Welton, the courier who runs mail between North and South. Posing as his wife, she crosses into enemy territory, where she finds herself falling in love. 

A decoded letter revealing a family secret forces Hattie to confront a devious double agent. Betrayed by a fellow spy, she and Thom come into Confederate crosshairs. Could the past she's running from be the key to saving them?

A sweeping story of courage and resilience inspired by the authentic adventures of historical women spies.
