This week I'm featuring The Prince of Spies (Hope and Glory #3) by Elizabeth Camden. It's another fascinating historical romance from Camden. It was so interesting reading about the Poison Squad. I'd never heard of them before, but I'm so thankful for all they did in making our food safer.
But trouble begins when Luke meets Marianne Magruder, the congressman's only daughter, whose job as a government photographer gives her unprecedented access to sites throughout the city. Luke is captivated by Marianne's quick wit and alluring charm, leading them both into a dangerous gamble to reconcile their feelings for each other with Luke's driving passion for vital reforms in Congress.
Can their newfound love survive a political firestorm, or will three generations of family rivalry drive them apart forever?
Book Beginnings
January 1902
Marianne ventured farther onto the frozen river despite people warning her against it. "Don't do it, ma'am!" someone shouted. "You're going to fall through the ice!"
Friday 56
By evening Luke was feeling better. Everyone on the Poison Squad was given a reprieve from chemically treated food for the rest of the week. The last vestige of the headache was a painful reminder of what polluted food could do to a man, and it strengthened his resolve to push for government regulation of these chemicals.
