London 1815, just before Waterloo... After her noble father disowned her, Lady Serena Ravenshaw clawed her way from streetwalker to courtesan to prosperous innkeeper. Now she's feared and respected from one end of London to the other, by the lowest dregs of the city's underworld and the upper echelons of the beau monde, and she'll do anything to keep it that way. When mild-mannered chemist Solomon Hathaway turns up in her office, asking for her help, she immediately recognizes him from one fateful night years before. She's been watching and waiting for him for years-so she can turn the tables and put him in her debt, of course, and not because he looked like an angel and was kind to her when she needed it most. She's determined not to wonder what put that fresh grief in his eyes. But after a betrayal even Serena didn't expect, she must put aside her pride and work with Solomon to stop a ring of French spies and save her beloved inn, her freedom-and England itself.

When Jim Richards lost his wife and their unborn child to a sniper's bullet, he also lost something else: his precious faith. After a year, the only thing colder than the murderer's trail is Jim Richards' heart. When journalist Leah Hamilton requests an interview for a one-year update on the killing, Jim refuses. But he doesn't count on her reporter's tenacity. For Leah, ethics aren't as important as interviews. But soon, she rethinks that belief as Jim's anger and anguish compel her to seek his forgiveness. Leah's contact with Jim fires a drive to solve her own spiritual emptiness, as much as the mystery of who murdered Kathy Richards. As they team together to discover who committed the crime, can Jim and Leah find peace with God--and love for one another?
