(Maggie McNair had to work long hours in her stepfather's ...)
Maggie McNair had to work long hours in her stepfather's tavern. And she had to be quick to escape the sharp tongue of the cook and the pawing hands of the officers. She hated her work, but she was good at it and besides it gave her a chance to overhear the British officers as they plotted with their leader, the cruel Colonel Fairfax. No one at the tavern knew Maggie had joined the small band of American patriots. No one knew she had secretly married their rebel leader, Seth Wright. No one knew she was the one who gave away the Colonel's plans. But as the messages began to backfire, and as the rebel plans began to go horribly amiss, the suspicion that a traitor was in the rebel band grew into a certainly ... And Maggie herself was the bait in a diabolical plot to destroy the rebel cause.

(Young Mara Pearsall was as hot-tempered as she was highbo...)
Young Mara Pearsall was as hot-tempered as she was highborn and as fiercely independent as she was beautiful. What was more, the shocking example of her rake of a father had set her firmly against the wicked ways of men. Mara's father was dead now, and the English heiress chose to live in a mansion in Madrid, plunging into perilous intrigue and adventure for the cause of Spanish liberty rather than enduring the foolish social whirl of Regency London. But when her handsome, arrogant guardian, Sir Gaylord Humphrey, came to take her in hand, Mara was hard-pressed to preserve her pride and purpose. For this dashing aristocrat seemed to possess everything she had both loved and hated about her father, and suddenly Mara felt like a child again--but a child filled with a woman's dangerous emotions.
