Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins who helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now, they are no longer pickpockets—instead they focus on high value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. Rosemary is beginning to question whether she can continue in this life when she's offered the challenge of a lifetime—determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany. After all how does one steal a family's history, their very name?
As Europe moves ever closer to World War I, rumors swirl around Peter Holstein.
Awkward and solitary, but with access to the king, many fear his influence. But Peter can't help his German last name and wants to prove his loyalty to the Crown—so he can go back to anonymously writing a series of popular adventure novels. When Rosemary arrives on his doorstep pretending to be a well-credentialed historian, Peter believes she's the right person to help him dig through his family's past.
When danger and suspicion continue to mount, both realize they're in a race against time to discover the truth—about Peter's past and about the undeniable attraction kindling between them.

Narrator Liz Pearce brings listeners to 1914 England as Cockney thief and spy Rosemary Gresham infiltrates Peter Holstein's Cornwall manor. She's on assignment to determine if his German roots signify trouble for the British government. Pearce delivers Rosemary's sassy street smarts with aplomb. She presents Rosemary's assumed role as Holstein's librarian and pairs it with her lively thoughts about how the other half lives. Holstein's stutter and low, gentle voice come across as realistic without being caricatured, and his earnest personality never seems over the top. Other village personalities are depicted with thicker Cornwall accents and dollops of humor. Pearce has time with this slowly building Christian romance to fully develop White's characters and share details of England on the cusp of WWI. C.A. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
