![]() ![]() And so begins their dangerous dance, between passion and patriotism, between certain death and the promise of a brave new future together.

The Turncoat Renegades of the American Revolution. They can trust no one-especially not each other. They are lovers on opposite sides of a brutal war, with everything at stake and no possibility of retreat. ![]()
