1865—Marietta Hughes never wanted to be a spy, but the family legacy of espionage is thrust upon her as the War Between the States rolls on. Unknown to her, the Knights of the Golden Circle—a Confederate secret society bent on destroying the Union her brother died for—has been meeting in a hidden lair beneath her home. Faced with the secrets of her late husband and his brother, whom she thought she could trust with anything, Marietta's world tilts out of control. Can she right it by protecting a Union agent infiltrating the KGC?

Slade Osborne, an undercover Pinkerton agent, is determined to do whatever is necessary to end the conflict between the North and the South. When he infiltrates this secret cell, it isn't just their inner workings that baffle him—it's the beautiful woman who seems to be a puppet for the new leader and yet...so much more.

Do they dare trust each other in this circle of intrigue? Will their shared faith sustain them? And can Mari and Slade stymie the enemy long enough to see their beloved country reunited?

      Marietta Hughes is a spy for the Union, a family tradition that she embraced with some reluctance. Shade Osborne is a Pinkerton agent who has infiltrated the Knights of the Golden Circle, a Confederate spy ring that is meeting in a secret hideaway located under Marietta's home. The discovery of the Golden Circle's meeting place and their plans to destroy the Union tilts Marietta's world on its axis. Having lost her husband and brother during the war, she no longer knows whom she can trust. Her blossoming romance with the dashing Shade is overshadowed by worry about his trustworthiness. VERDICT White's third historical espionage series entry (after "Ring of Secrets" and "Whispers from the Shadows") is a gripping tale of cloak-and-dagger intrigue and romance at the end of the Civil War. The author's sensitive portrayal of the genuine friendships and bonds between Marietta and the freed slaves brings an added dimension to an already heartwarming tale of love, hope, and adventure.
