"All of England thinks Phillip Camden a monster--a man who deliberately caused the deaths of his squadron. But as nurse Arabelle Denler watches the so-dubbed "Black Heart" every day, she sees something far different: a hurting man desperate for mercy. And when their paths twist together and he declares himself her new protector, she realizes she has her own role to play in his healing. Phillip Camden would have preferred to die that day with his squadron rather than be recruited to the Admiralty's codebreaking division. The threats he receives daily are no great surprise and, in his opinion, well deserved. What comes as a shock is the reborn desire to truly live that Arabelle inspires in him. But when an old acquaintance shows up and seems set on using him in a plot that has the codebreakers of Room 40 in a frenzy, new affections are put to the test"--

On Wings of Devotion is the second book in White's The Codebreakers series. It was great to get glimpses of characters from the first book as well as from her Shadows Over England series. This is a special treat as White creates characters to whom readers quickly become attached, characters which this time are set in 1918 London, England. I love that White always includes an 'Author's Note' that helps readers separate the fact from the fiction. The intrigue of spies during the Great War is central to On Wings of Devotion as is the theme of the value of inner beauty and being true to oneself and the ones you love. I highly recommend this book and all of Roseanna M. White's works, and am grateful to have received a copy of her latest release from Bethany House via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no monetary compensation.
