Captain Gordon Links is no stranger to conquering armies. But when one young woman, Noelle, conquers his heart, he is defenseless to resist.
Labeled a traitor, and smuggled from France under Gordon's care, Noelle falls for the noble soldier - but their proposed union is challenged by none other than the regent himself, and by the demands of title and wealth that are unexpectedly thrust upon the Captain's shoulders.
Will loyal Links, so long bound and driven by dedication to the crown, now find that he must be loyal to his own heart instead? Can he forsake wealth and title for the riches of love he discovered in the lady he was charged to protect?
This is a marvelous story of war and politics. It shows how kings and regents thought they could dictate to subjects how to live their lives. Glad Gordon had a mind of his own and of course Melissa was not grasping greedy person either. Very good read. Enjoy!
A very good read taking place during the Bonaparte era. Good tension between hero and heroine. Very clean. I highly recommend. I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
