Mercedes Maxwell’s sister’s last wish was for Mercedes to find evidence against Kat’s husband, William Braxton, and have him hung as a traitor to the crown. Mercedes isn’t naïve when it comes to capturing traitors, because her own deceased husband had once been an agent for the King when they lived in England.
When she meets William Braxton for the first time, all is not as it seems. Portraying her twin, Mercedes knows this is the only way to get close enough to William to discover his secrets. What she finds along the way are little surprises she hadn’t counted on, especially when she begins to give her heart to a man who may be a spy against the crown.
My Thoughts:
Oooo this book was GOOOD!! I loved it. At the request of her dying twin, Mercy took her place to find the twin’s husband a traitor to the crown. From what her twin said Mercy expected Mr. Braxton to be a monster. What she found confused her to say the least.
Wow! The romance was wonderful! They both were hiding secrets which frustrated me. I kept yelling “just tell the truth to each other!!” Anyway, this book was great, filled with betrayal, love, and adventure.
The story was told from both Mercy and William’s perspectives. The writing was beautiful with great characters you could cheer for.

Thank you for a great review! When readers tell me they screamed at the computer screen because my characters didn't do what they thought they should…that tells me the reader was very involved in my story. Therefore…I must have done something right. 🙂
