This story alternates between 1818 London and 1794 Paris. Justine DuMontier is a member of the French Secret Police and Adrian Hawhurst is a English spy destined to be head of British Intelligence while Justine becomes an English shopkeeper. As unlikely as it may seem the two, though enemies, are lovers for 24 year when they are thrown together in a plot to discredit the Black Hawk. This slightly unbelievable fairy tale romance tugs at your heart strings. The novel's historical background information is intriguing and the creatively designed plot encourages a straight-through read.
"It is a discipline to set aside pain and do one's work. It makes one strong."
