Hi Rachel,
I'm hesitant to post a traditional synopsis because it would necessarily contain plot turns that I don't want to post publicly. However, here's the back of the book blurb I've been working on. Hopefully, this will give you what you're looking for. Thanks for the question!
Wilmington DE, 1774
Sarah Stevens is the sheltered daughter of a Loyalist. Her father will do anything to protect his daughter, including marrying her off to a British officer. At least safely ensconced on his estate in England, she'll be far from the tempest about to erupt in the colonies. In an effort to escape her fate and her fiance, Sarah comes face to face with the notorious Jack Garrett. A stolen kiss on a deserted balcony has her questioning her resolve—in many ways. Little does she know, there will soon come a time when she may need Jack's protection from those she most trusted.
Unbeknownst to the good folks of Wilmington, Jack Garret is a rebel in name only. True, he's not fond of the oppressive yolk of parliament anymore than his fellow rebels, but he's seen enough violence in his lifetime. First his mother. Then his sister. If putting himself in the middle of the conflict can help him keep the peace and protect the people around him, then so be it. But this time, the one who needs him most is the enemy. Or is she?
