Three years into
the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network—field
agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to
crack every German telegram. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the
secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages.
But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, for the first
time in her life numbers aren’t enough.
Drake Elton returns wounded from the field, followed by an enemy that just
won’t give up. He’s smitten quickly by the too-intelligent Margot, but how to
convince a girl who lives entirely in her mind that sometimes life’s answers
lie in the heart?
Amidst biological warfare, encrypted letters, and a German spy who wants to
destroy not just them, but others they love, Margot and Drake will have to work
together to save them all from the very secrets that brought them together.

Rebecca's Review
5 STARS!!!
"The numbers
marched across the page in a glory all their own."
Margot De Wilde stays quite busy using her prodigious
mathematical prowess to aid England's intelligence network at its highest
level; in short, Margot is a codebreaker. She would rather calculate the number
of bricks used to construct a building, than bat her eyes in flirtation; thus
keeping her male counterparts in Room 40 at a comfortable distance. That is
until one day, when Lieutenant Drake Elton barged into her private conversation
of numbers and popped just the right question, "Have you a name?"
Drake Elton cannot forget the girl without a name, whose dark
eyes pervade his memory through-out the hours of his dangerous days and nights.
When his own service as an intelligence agent is interrupted by a life
threatening injury, Drake returns home to England to recuperate and discovers
the enigmatic Margot De Wilde once again; this time at the side of his hospital
bed, in the shadow of his beloved sister. Unfortunately, all is not fair in
love and war as pundits would have us to believe, for there are some puzzles
that seem impossible to solve, or perhaps it's just a matter of asking the
right question.
"Three, nine, twenty-seven, eighty-one . . . Eighteen.
Eighteen. Eighteen." The number of love.
Outstanding hardly seems adequate to describe the manner in
which Roseanna White has brought these characters to life!
I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher.
The opinions stated above are entirely my own.
Rebecca is
a graduate of Bryan College with a degree in Christian Education, and is
currently serving at the First Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in
Gastonia, North Carolina as the Director of Children's Ministry. With over 30
years of experience in her field, she has had many opportunities to use her
love of reading and writing in creative ways across the generations. A wife,
mother of four "nearly" grown children, and grandmother to four
beautiful grandchildren, Rebecca has been able to return to her love of reading
and more recently reviewing, with a renewed passion for the "beauty of
story".
Here's a bonus for anyone who has read to the end!

I love historical fiction! Mostly because I think that I learn something more than reading contemporary fiction.

Thank you so much for this giveaway! I've read A Song Unheard but had to check it out from my library. I'd love to have a copy of it on my shelf alongside the other two books in the series that I do have. I love to read historical fiction to learn more about different periods in history. I'm glad that there are more books being published now about World War I.

I LOVE reading historical fiction! For me it is such an enjoyable way to learn about history instead of the text-booky way I had to learn it in school. Thank you for the chance to win a copy of A Song Unheard! ~Alison Boss
