REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Hang this outside your tent. Tomorrow. I'll watch for your signal . . . and I will return for you."
Buried beneath layers of heartache and regret, Rebekah Stanton now finds herself caught between two struggles for predominance in a male-dominated world where subterfuge might just win the battle. When a bloody stranger with an aura of secrets lands in her bed, her role as a local prostitute shifts into something quite yet undefined.
Benjamin Renshaw is walking a very fine line; working as a Patriot spy while mingling among British soldiers could cost him his life. When a beautiful woman gets thrust into the middle through no fault of her own, Ben's chisled determination and well honed focus loses a chink; can he trust her to keep his secrets or is he just using her in the same manner as so many men before him? A scarlet ribbon could make all the difference.
Exceptional! Not only does this story dive headfirst into the annuls of our nation's history, (with vestiges of the Old Testament character of Rahab) but it does so with persons whose interminable courage and determination jump directly off the page and into the heart. Where is God in the midst this mayhem, you might ask? He's in every prayer!
"How often. . . had she pleaded with God for mercy, for deliverance? . . . For the strength to step out of the darkness of her past and into the light, wherever it may lead."

BackCover Blurb:
As the Revolutionary War unfurls around her, Rebekah Stanton is abandoned by the man who once claimed to love her. Shunned by her father and forced to give up her child, she finds herself thrust into prostitution at the local boarding house.
When the British seize control of the nearby fort, she gives little thought to the officers who frequent the boarding house. Men are men regardless of the color of their uniform...or so she believes. But then a young man-a Patriot spy named Benjamin Renshaw stumbles upon her in the darkness, and she saves him from a group of pursuing Redcoats.
With an attack on the fort brewing in the background and the father of her child returned to serve with the British, Rebekah is torn between old dreams and new hope, struggling all the while to find peace and forgiveness in a place of rising conflict.
