Alex is on assignment to find a traitor. He takes a room at a run-down inn and meets Johanna. She's trying to keep the place open by any means necessary, and it's going to get her into trouble.
As time passes, Alex's cover is making things difficult for him. He's in love with one woman while trying to follow orders and court another. He feels his loyalty should belong to his country, but it's getting harder to lie to Johanna with each day that passes.
I'll put this book in a category I'll call "just okay." It's hard to point to a specific issue, which is unusual, but I just didn't feel invested with these characters. I've read a lot of books this length, and I can get through one I really like in about 2 days. The best way I can think of describing it was that it felt longer than 320 pages. While I recognized the names of the main character in the other 2 books, I think you'd be okay reading these alone/out of order.
