CHIVALROUS CAPTAIN, REBEL MISTRESS
Genre: Regency Period, Historical Romance, England, Continental Locales
Three soldiers share the horrors of the Battle of Waterloo. Their powerful stories and realistic backdrop elevate Gaston’s series out of the traditional Regency romance. Engaging characters, action/adventure and sweet love add to the depth of these stories, which demonstrate how war changes people — and the world. Marian Pollant is in Belgium with her guardian, a commanding officer and friends when she ends up lost near the outskirts of the city. Captain Allan London is shocked to find a young woman near the battlefield. When he attempts to rescue her, they are caught between the English and French troops. Then Allan is wounded and Marian must rescue him. Facing danger and risking their lives creates a unique and powerful bond between them, but when they return to Brussels the disparity between their social classes and the duplicity of others tear them apart. They meet again in London, where their attraction is still strong, but their pride and problems caused in the aftermath of war threaten to destroy their love.
