The Prince of Spies
Book 3 of the Hope and Glory series
352 pages · First published 2021
Luke Delacroix has a reputation as the reckless adventurer of a prominent Washington family, but behind that image he is pursuing political reforms and working to defeat Congressman Clyde Magruder. His plans become personally dangerous when he falls for Magruder’s daughter Marianne, a government photographer whose independence and curiosity make her more than a convenient political connection. A generations-long feud turns their attraction into a liability as Luke’s reform campaign threatens powerful commercial interests. The final Hope and Glory novel combines Gilded Age Washington politics, investigative work, forbidden romance, and a family conflict that has already shaped the preceding books.
