Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy historical romance with genuine stakes beyond the bedroom, where the plot and the relationship develop in tandem
  • You appreciate protagonists who are clever and resistant rather than swooning, especially female characters who hold their own against roguish men
  • You like shorter novels (250 pages) that pack tension, espionage, and emotional depth without excessive side plots

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need extensive emotional introspection and internal monologue. This book moves briskly and assumes you'll infer feelings from actions
  • You want contemporary settings. This is period historical fiction with all the formal constraints that entails
  • You're looking for a guaranteed happy ending wrapped up neatly. The climax involves a genuine race against death with real consequences

About this book

Actress Catherine Wood agrees to accompany Tom Trenchard to Holland on a spying mission while posing as his wife. Her motivation is to secure her brother's release from jail. Tom, drawn to Catherine and assuming her acting background means she will welcome his advances, makes his intentions clear. Catherine resists his appeals despite finding him attractive. As they travel into dangerous circumstances and rely on each other, their attraction deepens into love, followed by misunderstanding. A life-threatening crisis forces the couple to confront and reveal the truth about their feelings for one another.
