Richmond, Virginia – February 9, 1864 …

Branded a traitor and barely surviving in war-ravaged Richmond, Annie Campbell wants nothing to do with the conflict that has destroyed her family until a letter arrives with devastating news that her estranged father has been hanged as a spy. His actions were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Union soldiers, maybe even her brother Ben, missing now for seven months since Gettysburg. Annie vows to find her brother, no matter what, but those plans derail when Matthew Cooper, a Union soldier escaped from Libby Prison and near death, collapses at her door. Now her mission becomes hiding him and saving his life, pushing her head first into a conflict she wants nothing of and becoming what the newspapers call the “disloyal element” in and around the Confederate capital.

Falling in love was not part of her plan, but neither was embedding herself with the enemy until an old friend of her father appears, a man who can provide the key to finding her brother but with it the key to secrets long hidden that can destroy her. While sacrificing herself may be the only way to learn her brother’s fate and more, is the truth worth the personal cost?

From the Publisher

Annie Campbell

“I want to find my brother. I have to find him. That’s all I want.”

Matthew Cooper

Matthew was now at the upward ascent portion of the tunnel, just inches away from freedom. Keep it together, keep it together. With his last bit of strength, he pulled himself up and onto level ground. He put his coat back on against the frigid chill of night air and looked up and down the street. He saw no one as he proceeded through the gate, mindful of his surroundings.

Hannah Webster

“There’s women who will never see their menfolk again. They’re dead on some godforsaken field. Buried where nobody goin’ to find them. Maybe your own brother. Women have their men and babies snatched from them and sold away. Never hold them again. Never see them again. How can you say you don’t care? You want everything to be rose covered cottages. To be perfect. Look around you, girl. Ain’t nothing perfect. There’s death and destruction. It ain’t all about you. But you can help. You can believe in something. Or you can sit there and wallow in your pity. I thought you were better than that. I guess I was wrong.”

Silas Andrews

“Doing what’s right isn’t always easy. Sometimes there’s nothing in it for you.”

Abel

Abel kept one eye on the street while he buffed the boots of his first customer of the day. Tonight he’d open the door to the room at Libby Prison that seemed to interest Julian Payne so keenly.
