She fled one prison only to find herself at the heart of a revolution. From the candlelit alleys of Siena to the cobblestone streets of Philadelphia, Giulia Marini has survived by grit, wit, and the sharp edge of her ambition. After escaping years of abuse in Italy, she stows away aboard a merchant vessel, arriving in the Colonies penniless and alone. But fate delivers her into the hands of Madame Colette Marini, a woman who runs the most prestigious brothel in Philadelphia-and hides secrets that could change the tide of a war. Under Colette's tutelage, Giulia becomes more than a survivor. She becomes a strategist, a seductress, and an invisible force within the revolutionary cause. When Colette is caught and hanged as a traitor, Giulia inherits not just her name, but her mission: to fight for independence in a world that sees women as nothing more than shadows. But when a conflicted British captain begins to fall for the tempestuous, fearless woman behind the fa ade, Giulia must choose between love and liberty. Because in a war of nations, even the heart can be a battlefield.
