Summary

Boston, 1854. Sam Miller and Abigail Clark flee to Kansas Territory seeking freedom from their pasts. Instead, they find themselves at the heart of a brewing civil war.
 
As pro-slavery bushwhackers clash with abolitionist jayhawkers, Sam and Abigail's lives become entangled with John Wesley, a freed slave, and Zeb Baker, a psychopathic slave hunter. When personal vendettas collide with historical forces, Sam descends into a spiral of violence that threatens everything he holds dear.
 
Haunted by his father's ghost and consumed by bloodlust, Sam must confront the true cost of revenge. Against the backdrop of Bleeding Kansas, where ideological warfare tears communities apart, one man's quest for vengeance becomes a microcosm of a nation's tragedy.
 
In this gripping historical novel, the lines between personal and political blur, and those who dig graves for their enemies may find they're digging their own.

    Lady Alexis knows only the pampered life of a debutant. That soon changes when she is forced to run away. Accidentally boarding the wrong ship, she is stranded in the French smuggling port of Gravelines. She naively stows away in the wagons of a merchant bound for Paris. But England is at war with France, Napoleon rages on the continent, and Alexis finds herself facing even deadlier peril. 
     
    Aran Forsythe is an English spy, playing the decadent rake in Paris. When he finds Alexis in his cargo, he reluctantly becomes her protector. But the notorious spymaster Joseph Fouche has him under surveillance, and his pretense in Paris has begun to crumble. 
     
    To avoid Fouche's clutches, Alexis must play the part of Aran's mistress. The lines between reality and the role of lovers begin to blur, and their passion ignites. When the maniacal General de Sole decides he must have Alexis, and nothing, even murder, will stand in his way, the game becomes doubly dangerous. 
     
    Alexis's coming of age is a journey that takes her from innocent girl to heroic woman, in a battle to save herself and the man she loves . . . The Spy.
