Publisher's summary
Dr. Emmett Maddix is tired of the frivolity of the ton and spends his time atoning for his past sins by providing medical care to the poor. His life takes an unexpected turn when he is recruited to be an agent of the Crown. He is assigned to run a charity hospital as a front to collect information about a vicious band of smugglers known as The Cursed Lot, who have managed to overtake the entire town of Gravesend with a reign of murder and oppression.
As Emmett delves further into The Cursed Lot’s domain, he quickly discovers that not everything is what it seems, and it will take far more than one new agent to take down this ruthless gang. While the tangled web of intrigue begins to unravel, Martha and Emmett battle an undeniable but unspoken attraction that grows between them. But before either can be ready to share their hearts, they must overcome their past mistakes, and find their own reasons to keep fighting. With more than just their hearts at stake, surviving the mission will be more difficult than either of them could ever imagine.

The series includes:
Saving Shadow
A Peculiar Courtship
To Love a Spy
A Tangled Ruse

Story
Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero - he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn't think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry. Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn't have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there's something he can't quite remember.

Story
Sowerby, England, 1802. Miss Genevieve Wilde—a magistrate’s daughter and independent heiress—is determined to meet life’s challenges all on her own, just as her late-father had taught her. So when her father’s pocket watch is stolen, she will do anything to get it back, especially when the local authorities prove incompetent. Upon reading an advertisement in the paper, she takes a chance and contacts a thief-taker to find the watch. It’s a choice Ginny regrets when former Bow Street officer Jack Travers arrives on her doorstep.

Very good addition to the series
This book is best if it is read in order. I think it can be read solo but it's better when you because you are already familiar with the supporting characters and some of the background story. The characters in this book struggle with PTSD and it relates what they have to do to endure each day and how the support of friends and family help them to confront their demons. I will say that the villain of this story while being absolutely despicable is flat as far as villains go. It's super easy to hate the villain, but I find the best villains are sometimes a little relatable (like Darth Vader). At this point in the series, I'm used to the AI voice. It's not the best, but I don't find it distracting. It's better when sped up to 1.1x.

Beautiful healing and love
I loved that the story had romance, tense moments, healing and love. Artificial voice can not pronounce correctly bow street, modeste and agape.
