The Philadelphia Spy Ring

Philadelphia, 1777.
British occupation. Deadly secrets. A widow turned spy faces impossible choices between duty and love.

When Eleanor Ashford's husband dies fighting for American independence at Brandywine Creek, she transforms grief into resistance. Recruited by Major John Clark's intelligence network, she becomes one of the most valuable civilian spies in occupied Philadelphia-gathering military intelligence from British officers while maintaining her cover as a struggling widow.

Then Captain James Hartwell arrives to investigate suspected espionage.

Billeted in Eleanor's home with orders to root out Continental spies, the British intelligence officer quickly suspects the beautiful widow isn't what she seems. But as he documents her suspicious activities, something unexpected happens: he falls in love with the woman he's supposed to arrest.

Caught between duty to his king and desire for a woman he shouldn't protect, James faces an impossible choice.

Eleanor knows discovery means execution. Five days of brutal interrogation. A military tribunal stacked against her. A death sentence she refuses to escape through betrayal. But James won't let the woman he loves hang for crimes she committed in the name of freedom.

In a world torn apart by revolution, choosing love means choosing treason.
