The Lieutenant's Lady (Currents of Love #2)

A man of honor.
As a prisoner of war and an officer, Royal Navy Lieutenant James Langdon is honor-bound not to attempt escape. Receiving word of impending danger to his family, however, throws honor to the wind, forcing him to take drastic action to get home. Even so, taking a young woman hostage to secure his freedom may not have been in his best interest. He's becoming increasingly unsure of which is more difficult to evade: French patrols, or the growing intensity of his attraction to the resourceful beauty.

A woman of action.
Men bring trouble. That's the one truth Angelique deRoos has always relied on, so she's not surprised when the upstart lieutenant the gendarmerie placed in her home drags her into his poorly planned escape. What he's not aware of, is her own need to quickly leave the city. She resolves to use the lieutenant’s plight to her own advantage, but doesn't anticipate the way her body and heart begin to turn in his favor.
