Deborah McMasters' life was full of misery. She’d lost her beloved father to a war brought about by a half-crazed British tyrant. It was hard not to resent her family, who had fled to the very lands where the tyrant reined supreme. She lives with danger, because she had chosen to stay behind in America, alone, to continue the fight her father left off—the fight for independence. Rejected by the general whom she had trusted and served faithfully, McMasters had little choice but to rejoin her family in a country that she hated and detested, England. Little would Deborah realize, upon making this dreadful move, that she would encounter a new type of danger, as well as a mystery, for she was to soon meet a man who would capture her interest as well as her heart.
