Beloved Enemy

A moving, unforgettable romance of defiance and desire from the New York Times-bestselling author of The London Jewels Trilogy.England's disastrous Civil War has robbed Lady Virginia Courtney of everything she holds dear-everything but her home, perched on the cliffs of the Isle of Wight. Left alone to defend it, she is powerless when the enemy forces arrive-but even more defenseless when she meets their leader, a fiercely commanding man whose eyes seem to see through to her very soul.Colonel Alexander Marshall is no less affected by his prisoner of war, the bewitching, capable woman who has seen so much loss in her young life. Though he would be justified to send her to the mainland-and to her certain death as a traitor-his hand is stayed by compassion . . . and undeniable desire. But even the most passionate love affair may not be enough to hold two sworn enemies together in the midst of war.
