The Duel for Consuelo by Claudia H. Long

Erin I loved your book ! It was the perfect blend of history, romance, and suspense. It has something for everyone . I will be first in line to buy your next book. That is, I hope you will write another and I hope you continue to take chances no matter who you risk offending.
