The Patriot and the Loyalist — Angela K. Couch

In war, love comes at a price. Lydia Reynolds refuses to pay it. Better to close her heart to everything and everyone. When her brother-in-law won't grant her passage to England, where she hopes to hide from her pain, New Englander Daniel Reid becomes her only hope -- if she can induce him to give her information about the notorious Swamp Fox and his troops.

When the British grow impatient and Daniel evades her questions, Lydia must decide how far to take her charade. The poor man, already gutted by love, hasn't grown as wise as she. Or so she supposes until the truth is known, the muskets are loaded, and it is time to decide where true loyalties lie.
