1777 New York City The American colonists are fighting for their independence, but the battlefield is not the only place to wage war. When General Washington's head of intelligence asks Captain Jack West to spy on the British in New York, Jack agrees, despite reservations about this ungentlemanly pursuit. Jack's contact in the city recruits bookshop owner Elias Ashfield, an impeccably dressed sensualist who flaunts his desire for both men and women and seeks a place in high society. Jack longs for a simple life guided by clear principles. Eli is a risk-taker who knows how to get what he wants. And he wants Jack in his bed. Events in Jack's past have made him fearful of acting on his secret craving for a man's touch, but Eli intrigues Jack as much as he infuriates him. As Jack and Eli search for the information the rebel army needs, they realize there's more between them than mere lust. But finding a way to be together may prove more difficult than defeating the British Empire.… (more)

Jack West is sent to spy on the British in New York during the Revolutionary War. His contact is Constance Sullivan, a rich widow. She is looking to bring Elias Ashfield, bookseller, into their group. Jack is not happy about spying nor is he happy about adding Elias to their group because the two men are attracted to one another. Lots of surprises await them all.

I enjoyed this book. It was well written. I liked the period which is not done much any more. I loved the characters and was surprised by how some activities were handled--both within the spying story and the love story. The story held me interest as I always wanted to know what would happen especially at the end. I look forward to reading the next book. ( )
