NightFires by Karen Harbaugh

Simone dela Fer must redeem the mistakes of her past by helping the innocent victims of the French Revolution escape the atrocities of the new government. Assassin Michael Corday became her unexpected ally and together they must work to thwart an unseen enemy, whose machinations must be stopped to prevent the bloodshed of the more innocents.
