Veronica Rossi

1776. A shipwreck off her home in Grand Bahama Island presents an unthinkable opportunity for Frannie Tasker to escape her brutal stepfather. Assuming the identity of drowned Emmeline Coates, Frannie is rescued by a British merchant ship and sails with the crew to New York. For the next three years, Frannie lives a lie as Miss Coates, swept up in a courtship by a dashing British lieutenant. But after witnessing the darker side of the war, she realizes that her position gives her power. Soon she is risking everything to pass information on to George Washington's Culper spy ring as agent 355. -- adapted from Goodreads info
