In the first volume of "Patriots": Liza Byers is the eldest daughter of a Catholic, Boston storekeeper in 1775. Her upbringing has been unique in comparison to that of most girls. She has been educated by a French Jesuit in her home and has served as a courier to her father's friends in the Sons of Liberty. While her mother wants her to be a lady, Liza feels the call to join in the revolution in any way she can. She would much rather be riding horses and sitting in on meetings with her father's two apprentices than sipping tea and sewing on samplers. However, she soon learns what it means to be in a war. Her sheltered world is shattered by loss as the war begins, and her parents see the need to hurry her impending arranged marriage in order to secure the future of their business. Through all the tragedy, Liza must learn to use her brain, be resilient, and never cease to be a light to those who are suffering.

Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away. She'd been his first love, his kindred spirit - and the woman who left him without saying so much as a goodbye. Which doesn't make him want her less. He knows it, the moment she locks her deep green eyes on his. Even knowing it might be too late to repair what's been once broken, Brian refuses to lose her again and sets out to find a way back to her heart. But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home.

Agent 355 by lcjocelyn
29 parts Ongoing Mature
New York Colony, 1765-1783 When Patsy MacDonald married Will Whitcomb, the second son in a prominent, wealthy Manhattan family, she assumed that her future was secure, that she would be plagued by few-if any-question marks. She assumed that she would live out her years supporting her husband in his every decision, comporting herself in such a way that she would avoid bringing any scandal into their home, and busying herself with the task of bearing and raising his children. What Patsy could never have foreseen, however, was that she and Will had married on the eve of the American colonies' battle for independence from England. She could not have foreseen that her husband, who hailed from a Loyalist family, would join the Continental Congress and help pen the very Declaration of Independence that would be sent to King George III. She could not have foreseen that he would join the Continental Army under General George Washington. She could not have foreseen that he would die in battle, leaving her the widow of a traitor in the middle of a disastrous war. Knowing that if the rebels lose the War of Independence, her husband's lands and properties will be confiscated by the British government, and she and their children would be left with nothing, Patsy finds herself in the most unforeseen position of them all: Posing as a Loyalist, entrenched in a New York society composed of Loyalists and British officers. Hosting one such British officer in her own home, Patsy joins the war effort as a spy, gathering intelligence that will be sent on to General Washington. In doing so, she joins the secret Culper Ring as its most mysterious and controversial agent, a woman history knows only as Agent 355.

The secret seemed to be etched across my face, the words "traitor" branded on my forehead. I wondered how everyone would feel if they knew what I'd just done, if they knew the treason and danger I'd just committed myself too. If they knew that the helpless girl in the pink dress was something more than a background character. ... It's 1776, and the Revolutionary War is in full swing. Everyday men fight and die for their country on the battlefield, and people grow poorer and poorer everyday as King George continues to tax the colonies. But while civilians drop like flies, nineteen year old Rose and her family are safe in England and as close as ever to King George and his obnoxious daughter Princess Sophia. Rose has a life that one would dream of; endless money and luxury, marriage offerings from every suitor in town, and the privilege of having the royal family in the palm of her hand. Except there's one flaw to Rose's perfect life: she hates it. While everyone else is jealous of Rose's wealth and luck, all Rose wants is to return to her hometown Virginia and get away from Princess Sophia and her minions. But then Rose meets Fiona. She's leader of the Shadow Group, a group of overlooked woman who sneak information from the British and send it to the colonies. Desperate to escape her living nightmare, Rose joins and her luck starts to change. Soon she's secretly attending meetings and flirting information out of her chosen suitor to help her hometown; until the ultimate betrayal tears the group apart. Will Rose make it out of Britain and live the life she's always wanted or to persevere her family's reputation? Or will she crumble under the King's careful thumb and break free forever? It's time Britain realized that it's not just the colonies ready for a rebellion. COMPLETED
