Sometimes what we are told to avoid becomes the magnet that attracts us.When a British general accosts Molly Weston in her father's Boston tavern, Lt. Geoffrey Canfield defies his superior to defend her honor. That single act of kindness kindled a desire for one of the enemy, but Stamp Act riots and the Quartering Act test their budding romance. When they discover the general's plot to stockpile black powder, they fight time and henchmen before he wages war on the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Forbidden love intersects with traitorous actions in this book about American patriots struggling to become a free nation.
