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.

Summary
On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna White is the second book in the Codebreakers series. I LOVE this series and this author. I am new to her writing and I am excited to catch up on all of her books. She creates the most intriguing characters.
I so enjoyed Arabella’s character. She was such a good, forgiving person but it seemed real. Readers will feel her heartbreak as she deals with feeling like no one ever chooses her. I was so moved by the scenarios that the author created to reveal Arabella’s character.
Phillip Camden has been accused of treason. Because of his connections and reputation Admiral Hall has moved him to work in Room 40 with the codebreakers. You will also see a little bit of de Wilde from book one. She is still working in Room 40.
Phillip was a very likable character and I was longing for their relationship to work out. Philip was the perfect companion for Arabella. He was so wonderful to her; especially as the story was unfolding at the end. All the sweet things he tried to do to take care of her.
This is a book to buy as you will want to read it again and again. In addition to a thoroughly enjoyable read, I was happy to learn how much of the story was based on real characters. The author shared a lot at the end of the book. It was fascinating.
Sexual content - kissing, learning that someone is unmarried and pregnant, discussions of what the pilots did to relax but no details.
Violence - war violence
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
