1776. Addie 's world has changed beyond recognition. From her privileged position amongst Boston's elite, she has embraced a dangerous new life with the American Revolutionary Army. While childhood sweetheart Silas risks all on the front lines, Addie waits anxiously for news. And when Silas does not return from the Battle of Monmouth, her worst fears come true.
Without thinking, Addie takes a horse and scours the now-calm battlefield for Silas, until word arrives that he has been captured by the British. And worse, by the troop of Scottish Highlanders led by the brooding general John Traverne. Addie hasn't seen the powerfully built Loyalist soldier since she chose the Revolutionary cause over her own heart, and hearing his name sends butterflies to her stomach, even as she is filled with worry for Silas.
Disregarding her own safety, Addie leaves Washington's camp and travels deep into enemy territory, determined to bring Silas home. But when she comes face to face with John Traverne once more, the feelings she has tried so hard to bury resurface and she must choose between the man she has pledged her life to, and the man whose dark eyes haunt her dreams. When Addie finally returns to her own camp, she carries a secret that could cost her everything she has fought for...
The second part of the spellbinding, emotional trilogy about enduring love and heart-breaking secrets amidst the birth of America. Readers who adored My Dear Hamilton and Flight of the Sparrow will love America's Wife.

I enjoyed the first book, America's Daughter so was looking forward to reading this book, which I enjoyed and I look forward to the final book. This picks up soon after the first book ended. I enjoyed this a bit more than the first book. Much more happens in this book in terms of actions and events, it's a slightly longer book and a more fast-paced read. Addie and Silas have now married and much of the book revolves around being involved in the war with General Washington and the trials, attributions and tragedies this leads to. I really enjoyed this book.
