       She tasted like hope and home.

      And of something else entirely.

       Tristesse.

      The French word for sadness came from nowhere, bathed in its own truth, but it was too soon to pay good mind to it and too late to want it different.

      ‘Only now, Lucien,’ she whispered. ‘I know it is all that each of us can promise, but it is enough.’

       Author Note

      Marriage Made in Rebellion is the third story in my The Penniless Lords series.

      Lucien Howard, the Earl of Ross, is a soldier, a fighter, a spy and a gifted linguist.

      Alejandra Fernandez y Santo Domingo is the only daughter of a powerful Spanish guerrilla leader whose family has been decimated by the conflict.

      They come together on the battlefields after Corunna in this dark and dangerous story of high-stakes warfare in a country that has been split apart by politics. It is also about a great love that conquers all.

      Francis St Cartmail is next. When Lady Sephora Connaught falls from a bridge into the deep and fast-running Thames everything in her world changes.

      The stranger who dives in to rescue her, the Earl of Douglas, is known as the black sheep of the ton and is a man of questionable reputation. Yet only with him does she finally feel safe.

      I love feedback, and you can find me at sophiajames.co.
