This book was an amazing read. Written by Roseanna White, whom I've never had the pleasure of reading before, and who I pray I never have the end of reading! She pulls you into the story and continues to tug you along with no indication of how the story is going to end. Even planning for a happy-ever-after, I was still struggling as I neared the end that everything would be wrapped up by the last page!
This story about a thief. One who has accepted her lifestyle as who she was and a talent she is gifted with, no need for God in her life because she can take care of herself.
This thief is so good she gets commissioned to find out where the loyalties of a certain gentleman lie...With England or as a traitor. Thinking that she only would get paid if he is a traitor she gets herself hired on as a librarian giving her plenty of access to all his records. What she didn't plan on was access to his God and his faith.
The book is such a gentle blend of truth and fiction and is about an author. I don't know about you but when an author writes about a fiction author it brings out something of their personalities and certain qualities one would never think about as a reader.
The plot takes twists and turns and even if you know what ending you hope for, rarely can you see a way for it to work out! The book has a life of its own and, though it isn't so riveting that I couldn't stand to put it down, it is one of those books that shouts to you as you walk by it to pick it up and finish it!

{MORE ABOUT ROSEANNA M. WHITE}
Roseanna M. White pens her novels beneath her Betsy Ross flag, with her Jane Austen action figure watching over her. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two children, editing and designing, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of over a dozen historical novels and novellas, ranging from biblical fiction to American-set romances to her British series. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to make their way into her novels . . . to offset her real life, which is blessedly boring. She passes said boring life with her husband and kids in the beautiful mountains of eastern West Virginia.
She’s out to steal his name . . . but will he steal her heart instead? Find out in A Name Unknown, Roseanna M. White’s new book.Rosemary, a former pickpocket who grew up on the mean streets of London, has the challenge of a lifetime comes when she’s assigned to determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany.

Anger and danger continue to mount, though, and both realize they’re in a race against time to discover the truth—about Peter’s past and about the undeniable attraction kindling between them.
