I have a freebie short story (almost) ready to go! I just need a title, and am waiting on the cover.
Here's the blurb:
Escorting a widow and her six children away from London and her husband’s shady activities didn’t fit Lieutenant Malcolm Sawyer’s plan of infiltrating the seedier side of Dover. Tea with the lovely Lady Hélène, did. However, it was only a brief stop on his way to find proof of a suspected French invasion imminent.
He had not imagined the lovely Louise Ardenne opening the door with a modified walking stick, ready to bludgeon him.
Louise Ardenne had no time for dashing English officers. A refugee from France who traded all her possessions for safe passage across the Channel, she owed her life to Lady Hélène and had more serious business than flushing at pretty compliments. The tall, sapphire-eyed officer posed an intriguing mix of threat from arrest or an opportunity for help finding her missing father and brother. If she didn’t melt at his searing looks first.
Revolution had burned her world to the ground. Malcolm, with his honor and kisses that stole her breath may finish the job. She’s not a French spy. He doesn’t trust her. An alliance is built not on trust but need, for the heat building between them and the answers they both seek amidst a world in chaos where even the closest friend could be an enemy.
Will their tentative alliance in the face of intrigue and spies be enough to convince him she is who she says? Or will her questions lead to her own death?
