Will she submit to the enemy?
Seduced into marriage, Lady Clara Hastings is forced to leave her beloved England for the uncivilized American colonies. As the War for Independence rages, she’s stuck in Redcoat-occupied New York, desperate to return home. But Clara’s brute of a husband won’t relinquish his hold until she’s provided an heir and a spare, an unlikely prospect given his dismissive disregard for his matrimonial duties.
Captain Samuel Taylor runs his Patriot supply fort efficiently and deftly, obtaining provisions for New York’s rebel forces any way he can. With war outside the ramparts, respite only comes at night, as philosophical sparring with his second-in-command usually ends with an illicit tumble between the sheets.
A foiled plot unexpectedly strands Clara on Sam’s doorstep. But a supply station is not meant to harbor prisoners, especially the feisty wife of an enemy general.
Clara’s beguiling charm and sharp wit stir Sam’s senses. Sam’s political fervor and cultured intelligence provoke and inflame Clara. Sparks fly as ideologies clash… intimacy deepens as secrets are revealed… until Sam and Clara discover a mutual passion worth fighting for.
