Spying for the Union army has taken a heavy toll on Gabriel Laniere. Though his cause is noble, the constant deception required has eaten away at his soul. And never can Gabriel risk getting close to anyone—not even God. Yet Camilla Beaumont, daughter of the Confederacy, just might be the exception. Courageously, unbeknownst to family and friends, Camilla works for the Underground Railroad. This dangerous secret rivals Gabriel's own. Perhaps Camilla could understand the sacrifices he has made in the name of duty. And the unlikely partnership they forge could be the key Gabriel seeks to a soul-shaking truth larger than any conflict—love.

A very well-done historically story (well, except treating yellow fever with quinine, which was funny, especially seeing what's going on lately with quinolones for the current pandemic) which treated both sides with dignity (though it was clear the author is strongly Yankee in sympathy, she didn't make all the Southerners unapologetically bad).
Having read this author's other books under her name of Beth White, I can say this story captures a similar flavor of the Coastal South and would appeal to a similar audience.
