About the Book
Page-Turning Romance and Intrigue in Award-Winning Author's Next Historical Novel
Lucy Drake's mastery of Morse code has made her a valuable asset to the American news agencies as a telegrapher. But the sudden arrival of Sir Colin Beckwith at rival British news agency Reuters puts her hard-earned livelihood at risk. Newly arrived from London, Colin is talented, handsome, and insufferably charming.
Despite their rivalry, Lucy realizes Colin's connections could be just what her family needs to turn the tide of their long legal battle over the fortune they were swindled out of forty years ago. When she negotiates an unlikely alliance with him, neither of them realizes how far the web of treachery they're wading into will take them. (From Amazon)

My Thoughts
WOW! So.Much.History is crammed into this incredible story! The first thing that stood out to me...Is that Nick (Lucy Drake's brother) is a plumber...My dad is a plumber. I remember going with him to jobs all growing up. He taught me how to solder, and I did better than the average apprentice. Mostly I organized the fittings...And swept the job site. BUT, learning about how things were run in the early 1900s was FASCINATING! I LOVED it! I can't wait to read more about Nick. Lucy being a telegraph operator, the taxidermy, the hostilities between "old" and "new" money, and mental health beliefs...There is more, but I want you to go read the book for yourself haha!
As Lucy and Colin discover what really matters in life, their eyes are opened to not only the unnecessary burdens of life they piled upon themselves, but the freedom they have once they let go and trust God to care for them.
I love Colin's determination and loyalty to his family. He is a brooding, swoon worthy hero to be sure. Lucy, well...the best way to describe her, is that she is a force to be reckoned with. Determination, stubbornness, compassion, and a free spirit. She will crawl into your heart and become your best friend.
In addition to the fabulous leading cast and the history, this story is brimming intrigue, romance, scandal, heartache, and faith.
Trust me, you won't want to miss out on Elizabeth Camden's newest release! And while you're at it, check out From This Moment, which is a finalist for the 2017 Christy Award for Historical Romance!
