In a time of peril, she fears nothing—except the forbidden passions of her heart. In Boston, revolution is in the wind—yet none would ever suspect Faith Kingston of treason. But under cover of darkness, the beautiful daughter of a Tory tavern owner becomes the notorious spy “Lady Midnight,” passing valuable secrets to the rebels. Dedicated to fighting British tyranny, she’ll let nothing distract her— until a dark, mesmerizing stranger enters her life. A reckless, worldly adventurer, Nicholas Grey has returned to troubled Massachusetts seeking revenge for the death of his rebel father. He suspects a local innkeeper, but it’s the man’s breathtaking, ebony-skinned daughter who has truly captured his interest. Nicholas burns for the sensuous, secretive lady—and Faith cannot mask her own blazing desires. But when destiny unites their causes, the passion that draws Midnight into Nicholas’s arms is as dangerous as it is glorious—and it could spell disaster for them both.

    I read anything by Beverly Jenkins. I fricking love her. I read this one for library book club, our theme this month is spies. Faith lives and works in her father’s inn in pre revolutionary war Boston. Her awful father loves the British and hosts a General for his regular meetings. Faith uses this as an opportunity to spy and pass information to the rebels. She keeps her identity a secret, only known as Lady Midnight. One of her contacts is caught by the British and dies. That man’s son, Nick Grey, returns to Boston from his own war and conscription experience to find his father dead. He wants revenge, to find Lady Midnight, and join the rebels. There is so much flirting, it was delightful. Faith and Nick are a bit at odds at the beginning, he assumes she’s a Tory like her father. But Nick is obsessed with sassy Faith, he’s intrigued with her non stop. On Faiths side Nick is SO HANDSOME that she can barely look at his face. There’s some drama and spy stuff leading up to the Revolutionary War. Nick saves Faith after her Bad Dad kicks her out and within days they are engaged. Nick thinks Faith is gorgeous and wonderful. Such a good book!! A touch of history and it was interesting to learn about the role Black Americans played in the war, when slavery was still a big part of our country.
