Whilst this is a hard life, it’s hers and she will fight to keep it. Then her world comes crashing down when she is caught behind enemy lines by none other than her estranged husband.

Betrayed by those who have willingly taken the information she offered,Cressida is offered a deal. Entrap her childhood friend, Lord Byron, now the most famous man in England and onewho is suspected of treason, or pay the ultimate price for her own treasonous acts.
