Another interesting and delightful historical romance! I found the setting and plot for this book particularly interesting with the secretive spy aspect and the mix of exes working together to take down the bad guy.

Dash and Abby were once engaged, but when he leaves, breaking their engagement, their lives go different ways, till they meet again in the present time.

Abby’s life has changed from a life of privilege to one of being shunned following her father’s association with a criminal and his murder that occurred after, with her mother dying later. Dash who had once been a poor stable boy now works in the Secret Service. They’re brought together to work in catching and taking down the bad guy, Fletcher Pitch, the same man behind the murder of Abby’s father.

Abby is, understandably, reluctant to work with Dash, who had left her without a word, and is bitter towards him. But they’re forced to work through their personal problems and focus on their plan. Pitch’s son is rumored to be in a small town, and he is suspected of coming after his son. Abby works undercover as a teacher, trying to discover who the son is while Dash works in a stable gaining information that way.

Abby and Dash work through their issues; Dash with his feelings of insecurity and not being good enough for Abby; and Abby has to learn to forgive which helps her be merciful to others. The story was brought together nicely with action, romance, and the overall message of God’s mercy and everlasting love.
