The Soldier's Woman Book 1 of the Bladewood Legacy

A paranormal regency romance set in war-ravaged Napoleonic Portugal. An ancient book with the power to change the course of history - she's trying to save the world, he's vowed to save her. Miss CHARLOTTE EVERSLEA, paranormal artefact hunter of the secretive and ancient Guild, is tracking an arcane book and the innocent children who were stolen with it. British Colonel MAXIMILLIAN BLADEWOOD is used to giving orders and having them obeyed, both on and off the battlefield. But the petite golden-haired hoyden, whose accidental intervention saved his life, challenges both his authority and his sanity. Pursued by the kidnappers and French army, Maximillian's priority is getting her back to the British lines. Charlotte's priority is to retrieve the book before anyone uses its powers. His single-mindedness tests her beliefs in synchronicity, even as his integrity and kindness call to her heart. While, Charlotte's courage and vulnerability have breached Maximillian's defences, paradoxically making him completely opposed to her risky plans. Unable to explain what is really at stake, Charlotte has no choice but to trust their dangerous journey will take her to where she is fated to go. Despite their cross-purposed journey, their simmering mutual attraction erupts in a night of passion, before a desperate gamble against the Guild's most dangerous enemy will determine both their fate and the world's.
