Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Rome, 1809. The Pope has been dragged from the Quirinal Palace in the dead of night. French soldiers hold the city. And in a house near the Tiber, a widow is running out of time to save her brother's life.For fans of rich, atmospheric historical fiction and slow-burn romance under impossible odds comes a story of quiet defiance, dangerous trust, and a love that outlasts empires.A Sister's DevotionVittoria buried her grief the only way she knew how: by making herself careful, controlled, unshakeable. But when her brother Marco is sentenced to a French prison at Lyon for the crime of grief made visible, carefulness will not be enough to save him. She will have to become someone far braver than the woman she has spent three years training herself to be.A Spy's AwakeningMajor James Ashmore came to Rome expecting a quiet posting and a dull report home. What he finds instead is a city that refuses to kneel, a resistance built out of clergy and clerks and stubborn old women, and a woman whose composure hides a courage he has never had to match in the field.A City That Would Not SurrenderAs the hour of Marco's transport nears, Vittoria and James abandon caution for a plan too dangerous to attempt twice: a tunnel beneath the city, a forged order, one night to get it right. What follows will carry one of them across the sea to a country not his own, and leave the other asking whether love, like Rome itself, can survive anything an empire throws at it.Discover a novel where courage is quiet, love is patient, and the arrangements made in the dark outlast the loudest decrees of kings.
