A scoundrel is transformed by the love of an innocent princess in this
historical romance by the New York Times-bestselling author of
Flowers from the Storm.
Summoned to rule the tiny nation of Oriens, Princess Olympia St. Leger
appoints the most celebrated man in England to escort her: recently
retired war hero Capt. Sheridan Drake. Easily frightened, she is vastly
relieved to have Captain Drake's help--until she discovers he's a
scoundrel without a drop of honor in his body. In fact, nothing would
make her happier than to forget him. Except she cannot seem to get his
deep, stirring gaze out of her head . . .
Sheridan has no patience for hero worshipers; war is a game of survival,
not gallant deeds. But Olympia, who comes to him with plump cheeks and
eyes full of expectation, has money, something of which he is in great
need. And though Olympia is impossibly naive, for reasons he can't
fathom, she touches him in some obscure, half-forgotten place, until the
thought of losing her becomes even more impossible.
Set in Georgian England, Seize the Fire is another exciting tale from
the author of For My Lady's Heart, whose work has been praised by
Julia Quinn as "unfailingly brilliant and beautiful."
