Captain Geoffrey Armitage
just wants to be a good soldier in the war against Napoleon, but when a number
of military secrets fall into French hands, Armitage is tasked with finding the
traitor leaking the information. The trail leads to Mr. Dalbrooke and his
daughter Maria. While confiding in a friend about finding the leak, Maria is
caught eavesdropping on their private conversation. She's given a difficult
choice: either help Armitage find the traitor or be arrested along with her
father while the investigation is ongoing. What Captain Armitage doesn't
anticipate is agreeing to a pretend engagement that becomes all too real, but
can he remain objective while his feelings for Maria grow?
This was a very enjoyable
story. The author does a good job letting the reader into the inner feelings of
the hero and heroine and teases out clues throughout the book about who the
real traitor is. Although most of the mystery is solved, there is one little
snippet left open. I hope that means another book about the Captain and Maria.
I look forward to reading that one as well.
I voluntarily read an
advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
