The Soldier's Woman - Bladewood Legacy, #1

The Soldier's Woman re-issue is the first book of The Bladewood Legacy, a Regency-era paranormal romance. Some arcane objects are just too dangerous to be in the world. First time paranormal artefact hunter, Charlotte Everslea, knows all too well what will happen if she doesn't brave the war-torn Portuguese countryside, to recover this one. What she doesn't need is a stormy-eyed overprotective redcoat she has to win over, without sharing her dangerous secrets.
What she does need to remember is why affairs of the heart are impractical for independent ladies with vocations. Maximillian Bladewood, usually has his orders obeyed, on and off the battlefield. But this petite golden-haired hoyden, challenges both his authority and sanity. Protecting her from Napoleon's soldiers, guerrilla fighters and thugs might just be his easiest task. This is why being a soldier is safer than letting your heart be snared.
Cross-purposed and with the civilised world at stake, fate throws down another challenge - hope for love. All it will cost them are the vows they have each sworn to keep.
