Number of pages: 346Since the night her dear uncle gave his life for hers, Hannah Young is determined to risk everything by spying for the Patriots in order to seek retribution against the British soldier who killed him. But when her former love, Joseph Wythe, insists on ensuring her safety, she must decide if the vengeance she seeks is worth the danger of his nearness. For the love she once felt is liable to grow deeper and more threatening to her heart than it ever was before.Leaving his young ward to join the fight for liberty is the hardest thing Joseph Wythe has ever done. Nearly. The most difficult happened ten years past, which he tries his best forget. Seeing Hannah Young again after all this time does something frightening and wonderful to his soul. Though her determination to spy for the Patriots is honorable and brave, he will never allow her to take such a risk without him to protect her, no matter how she protests—and no matter how he knows he will ache all the more for the thing he always wanted and still could never have.

Book Covers

Creating a cover is probably one of the most exciting things about the writing process—for me anyway. It brings the story to life and is the first impression that potential readers will have, so it’s got to be good. I knew before my first book was released that I wanted to dress-up and be on the cover because finding good photography or art that depicts the colonial era is difficult. I started saving my money and after I had enough, I purchased a dress straight from Colonial Williamsburg because authenticity is important to me, and I knew I could trust it to be period correct.

One of my friends was willing to take some pictures and, oh, was I thrilled how they turned out! After that, I knew I wanted to be on every cover because the result was just what I’d hoped. At first I didn’t want to make public the fact that I was on the cover, but after a little encouragement from some fellow authors, I decided to make it known—and I’m so glad I did! It’s been a great thing to talk about with readers and I think they really enjoy it. At least I hope they do. 😉

Book four was no exception. I was really excited about this cover shoot because I knew I wanted to feature a hat with my costume—I love hats!! I had it specially made by a woman who owns an incredible Etsy shop and knows more about Colonial era clothing than anyone I’ve ever spoken with. The top I wore for this shoot was also from Colonial Williamsburg, actually, as was the purple apron. I knew from the get-go that it was going to be great, but once I saw the cover all put together…I was over the moon!

I feel so grateful to get to be part of such a fun, creative process and I hope to be able to do a few more in the future. <3

Even though this is the fourth book in a series and I had never before read any of Amber Lynn Perry’s books, the description of this one appealed to me. My second favorite romance trope is first loves reunited, after all. I’m happy to say this book did not disappoint me.

Not once did I feel like I was missing out on a part of the story from the previous books (although, I did go back to look and see whose stories I’d missed). Plus readers get a little peek into the next couple in the series.

There are a few story lines entwined in this one: the reuniting of Hannah and Joseph (and talk about the tension between these two!), the secrets Joseph and Hannah are keeping from the British, the secrets Joseph and Hannah are keeping from each other, and more.

Perry captures the danger and intrigue of spying during this time while pouring so much heart into this story. There is a lot of hurts in both of these main characters’ histories. Not only from each other but also from family members.

This one has a little bit of everything for any kind of reader: intrigue and danger, romance, and history. This may have been the first book I’ve read by this author but it is most definitely not the last.
