The Lion and the Eagle

The American Lieutenant Oliver Morrison has sworn to kill the man who murdered his mother. But the wily Colonel Jonathon Shrewsbury, the bastard son of King George II, comes armed with his own vengeance. Will the emboldening charm of Emily Thorndike, the Quaker beauty they both vow their love for, prevent their mutual destruction—or fuel it even more? THE LION AND THE EAGLE is filled with burning passion and cruel hate, cowardice and daring, sex and betrayal. But above all it’s the swashbuckling and vivid story of the early days of the American Revolution—and a fort in the middle of a river manned by volunteers who stopped a mighty British fleet dead in its wake.
