Two gentry go rogue as spies-turned-pirates in a desperate dash to save the world. The real trick isn't necessarily how to stay alive-it's how to keep their blasted gloves clean in the process. Christina Rushing, a baroness spy, is no stranger to the dark-her late husband can attest to that. But when she takes an espionage job for a shipping mogul, she ends up double-crossing an entire nation. What's worse, the dead Baron's name has appeared on an active shipping schedule, though he should be six feet under. Determined to solve the dangerous mystery and make sure the despicable man is dead, Christie heads back to the haunts of her childhood, followed by deadly shadows. There, she learns her scrappy and sarcastic old flame, Charlie Blackwell, may be at the center of the brewing trouble. As ballgowns and whispers devolve into bullets and secrets, the two gentry-turned-spies become spies-turned-pirates to try and stop the war before they're branded traitors. Join Christie and Charlie as they navigate this military mystery thriller with backstabbing colleagues, snotty gentry, hidden caves, blazing guns, poison quills, and the occasional assassin. Because what's worse? The Baron living or being responsible for his murder?
