When a spirited colonial merchant's daughter in 1770s Boston is betrothed against her will to a stern British officer billeted in her family's home, she must choose between the revolutionary cause she has secretly championed and the inconvenient, consuming love growing between them before the first shots of war make that choice irreversible.Boston is becoming a dangerous place to keep secrets.By daylight, Temperance Holt is exactly what the city expects her to be: the dutiful daughter of a respectable chandler, keeping her father's accounts and tending to a household already strained by debt and uncertainty.By candlelight, she becomes someone else.With ink-stained fingers and a printer's eye for precisely the right word, Temperance writes the anonymous broadsides appearing throughout Boston-dangerous arguments against Crown authority that could cost her family its livelihood, its reputation, and perhaps far more if anyone discovers who holds the quill.Then Captain Edmund Ashby enters her home.A British officer should be easy to despise. Temperance has prepared herself for arrogance, entitlement, and unquestioning loyalty to the Crown. Instead, Ashby is restrained, observant, infuriatingly courteous-and far more interested in the books on her shelves than a King's officer has any business being.He asks permission where he might simply take.He listens more than he speaks.And Temperance cannot decide whether he has failed to notice the evidence of rebellion hidden beneath his feet...or whether he has noticed everything.But Captain Ashby is not the greatest danger inside the Holt household.Silas Greer holds her father's debts, and he has discovered that paper can bind a person as effectively as chains. When he offers to erase everything Cornelius Holt owes in exchange for a marriage between Temperance and the very officer she has been trying desperately to deceive, rebellion becomes painfully personal.Outside their door, Boston moves steadily toward revolution.Inside it, loyalty becomes harder to define.Because the longer Temperance watches Edmund Ashby, the less he resembles the enemy she has taught herself to hate-and the more dangerous the truth becomes.She writes in secret. He serves an empire. And beneath a rebel sky, falling in love may prove the most treasonous act of all.
