About the Book:
She’s out to steal his name. Will he steal her heart instead?
Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now, they are no longer pickpockets—now they focus on high value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. Rosemary’s challenge of a lifetime comes when she’s assigned to determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany. How does one steal a family’s history, their very name?
Rumors swirl around Peter Holstein. Awkward and solitary, but with access to the king, many fear his influence. But Peter can’t help his German last name and wants to prove his loyalty to the crown—so he can go back to anonymously writing a series of popular adventure novels. When Rosemary arrives on his doorstop pretending to be a well- credentialed historian, Peter believes she’s the right person to help him dig through his family’s past.
Anger and danger continue to mount, though, and both realize they’re in a race against time to discover the truth—about Peter’s past and about the undeniable attraction kindling between them.

About the Author:
Roseanna M. White pens her novels
beneath her Betsy Ross flag, with her Jane Austen action figure watching over
her. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two children, editing
and designing, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the
author of over a dozen historical novels and novellas, ranging from biblical
fiction to American-set romances to her British series. Spies and war and
mayhem always seem to make their way into her novels . . . to offset her real
life, which is blessedly boring. She passes said boring life with her husband
and kids in the beautiful mountains of eastern West Virginia.

Comments:
“With the greatest risks come the greatest rewards.” This is
the theme of A Name Unknown by
Roseanna M. White. And the heroine of the story, Rosemary Gresham, proves the
truth of that statement over and over throughout the story White has brought together
with wonderful storytelling skills. The characters, major and minor, are all
well-developed and the story is truly unique and well-written. The book was
hard for me to put down. I look forward to reading the other books in this
series—Shadows over England—by Roseanna White in the future. I highly recommend
this book, set in the Edwardian period of English history, leading up to the
First World War.
