About this listen

RITA Award Winner, Best Inspirational Romance, 2013

As a child, Lydia Pallas became all too familiar with uncertainty when it came to the future. Now, she's finally carved out a perfect life for herself - a life of stability and order with no changes, surprises, or chaos of any kind. She adores her apartment overlooking the bustling Boston Harbor, and her skill with languages has landed her a secure position as a translator for the U.S. Navy. However, it is her talent for translation that brings her into contact with Alexander Banebridge, or "Bane", a man who equally attracts and aggravates her. When Bane hires Lydia to translate a seemingly innocuous collection of European documents, she hesitantly agrees, only to discover she is in over her head.

Just as Bane's charm begins to win her over, Lydia learns he is driven by a secret campaign against some of the most dangerous criminals on the East Coast, compelled by his faith and his past. Bane forbids any involvement on Lydia's part, but when the criminals gain the upper hand, it is Lydia on whom he must depend.

A enjoyed this story from beginning to end. Well written, intelligent characters with a smattering of humour. It was also educational
The historical facts were well researched and accurate. It was an eye opener to learn the contents of medications sold in that era and how difficult it was to have the laws changed. All done within a great story line and characters

Great story, well executed .

I think this may be Elizabeth Camden best story I've read yet. The main character is brave and daring, while also being someone who always puts her hairbrush exactly parallel to the edge of her nightstand. The romantic chemistry was electric and was a great opposites attrach story, but she also kept the story real by gradually revealing the key similarities between them that ended up making their romance work.

Thrilling story and a brilliant narrator
