Seize the Fire

Princess Olympia St. Leger is summoned to rule the tiny nation of Oriens and appoints Captain Sheridan Drake, a recently retired war hero and the most celebrated man in England, to escort her. Though easily frightened, Olympia is relieved to have his protection—until she discovers he is a scoundrel without honor. Despite her wish to forget him, she cannot stop thinking of his deep, stirring gaze. Sheridan has little patience for those who idolize war, viewing it as survival rather than gallant deeds. He is drawn to Olympia partly because she has money, which he desperately needs. Yet beyond financial interest, something about her—despite her naivety—touches him in a forgotten place within himself. The thought of losing her becomes impossible to bear. Set in Georgian England, this historical romance explores how an innocent princess and a dishonorable scoundrel transform each other through their connection.
