Journey back to the intrigue and romance of the American Revolution, where spies can be anyone and trust may prove deadly. Historical Romance novel, Traitor's Legacy, is the sequel to award-winning historical romance novel, Enemy of the King.
Journey back to the drama, intrigue, and romance of the American Revolution.
1781. On opposite sides of the War of Independence, British Captain Jacob Vaughan and Claire Monroe find themselves thrust together by chance and expediency.
Captain Vaughan comes to a stately North Carolina manor to catch a spy. Instead, he finds himself in bedlam: the head of the household is an old man ravaged by madness, the one sane male of the family is the very man he is hunting, and the household is overseen by his beguiling sister Claire.
Torn between duty, love, and allegiances, yearning desperately for peace, will Captain Vaughan and Claire Monroe forge a peace of their own against the vagaries of war and the betrayal of false friends?
Excerpt
She dashed between them, followed by a wiry slave who made for the stables. “I am truly sorry for your violent reception at Thornton Hall and beg your
forbearance,” she blurted, and flung herself at Vaughan’s feet just across from the wounded guide.
“Spare my foolish brother, I beseech you.”
Hardly in a position to indulge her notions of chivalry, as he was stained with blood and constrained by the need to apply pressure to Percy’s wound,
Vaughan scowled at her in bemusement. “Get up, woman. I shall consider your request.”
She raised her head and met his annoyance with a plea in her earnest gaze, like sunlight on water lilies. So
clear, her hazel eyes, cast with a greenish hue, and her face was really rather pleasing. Remarkably so.
What on earth was he thinking? Vaughan wrenched his attention away from the distracting girl. “Might I have clean cloth to stem the flow, Miss—”
“Monroe,” she supplied, and reached into her bodice. “Claire Monroe.”
Lovely name. Too bad it belonged to a Rebel.
