  woman who races time and traitors to uncover a plot that threatens the ne
 w nation. Recently widowed\, Rebecca Parcell is too busy&nbsp\;struggling 
 to maintain her farm in Morristown to care who wins the War&nbsp\;for Inde
 pendence. But rumors are spreading that she&rsquo\;s a Loyalist sympathize
 r&nbsp\;who betrayed&nbsp\;her husband to the British&mdash\;quite a tidy 
 way to end her disastrous&nbsp\;marriage\, the village gossips whisper.</p
 >\n<p>Everyone knows that her husband was a Patriot\, a hero who died aboa
 rd a British&nbsp\;prison ship moored in New York Harbor. But &ldquo\;ever
 yone&rdquo\; is wrong. Parcell was a British spy\, and General&nbsp\;Washi
 ngton - who spent two winters in Morristown - can prove it. He&nbsp\;swear
 s he&rsquo\;ll safeguard Becca&rsquo\;s farm if she unravels her husband&r
 squo\;s secrets. With&nbsp\;a mob ready to exile her or worse\, it&rsquo\;
 s an offer she can&rsquo\;t refuse.</p>\n<p>Escaped British prisoner of wa
 r Daniel Alloway was the last person to see Becca&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;husband a
 live\, and Washington throws this unlikely couple together on an&nbsp\;esp
 ionage mission to British-occupied New York City. Moving from&nbsp\;glitte
 ring balls to an underworld of&nbsp\;brothels and prisons\, Becca and Dani
 el&nbsp\;uncover a plot that threatens the new country&rsquo\;s future. Bu
 t will they move&nbsp\;quickly enough to warn General Washington? And can 
 Becca\, who&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;lost almost&nbsp\;everyone she loves\, fight he
 r growing attraction to Daniel\, a man who always&nbsp\;moves on?</p>\n<p>

 he thought she&rsquo\;d be clearing trails when she volunteered at the Mor
 ristown National Historical Park but found herself\, instead\, sifting thr
 ough the Park&rsquo\;s archival collection of letters. That&rsquo\;s where
  she found a copy of an indictment for the Revolutionary War crime of trav
 eling from New Jersey to New York City &ldquo\;without permission or passp
 ort\,&rdquo\; which became the spark for "The Turncoat&rsquo\;s Widow\," h
