A young woman in wartime Richmond must guard her heart and her secrets as love, espionage, and survival intertwine behind enemy lines.
Book 1 begins after a year of war and longing. Seamstress Rebecca Steed is desperate to reunite with her beloved Nathan, a loyalist conscripted into the Confederate Army. When Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew invites Rebecca into her covert network, the offer feels like purpose-and peril. Rebecca must gain Nathan's blessing to join the cause, but with secrets mounting and trust fraying, she's forced to choose between love and loyalty.
Set against the tense backdrop of Civil War-era Richmond, this is an intimate, character-driven story of quiet resistance, slow-burning romance, and the perilous cost of compassion in a city under watch. For readers who love emotionally rich historical fiction where courage wears ordinary faces, this novel delivers suspense, heart, and unforgettable stakes.
Approximately 80,000 words.
