Consider An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole.
“This is a character-forward historical romance that layers clandestine missions over wartime urgency, anchored by a formerly enslaved protagonist with an eidetic memory.

Best taken as an emotionally driven, plot-tinged love story rather than a strict history primer.”
