Perilous Love

 

As war looms over Europe, wealthy businessman Adrian Bryce is ordered by the British government to leave his mistress and accompany his estranged wife Gabrielle to Belgium.  They require proof Gabrielle’s uncle is supporting the German Empire.  What Adrian discovers plunges him and Gabrielle into a nightmare of betrayal.  Forced to run for their lives as Germany invades, they must trust each other in the midst of danger, brutality, and injury. 

Gabrielle enjoys her role of mother of their two children. Wanting only to be with her lover, and now fearful of exposure, she readies herself and her children for a difficult trip.  With no way out, Gabrielle knows the visit with her aristocratic family will be a trial, and Europe is on edge.  She had no idea the danger she, Adrian and her children would be in.  

Will Adrian and Gabrielle reach safety? If they do, are they out of danger or will the intrigue and treason follow them back to England?

Lies of Gold

 

Their love affair ended in anger and painful consequences.

In Regency England, Lady Katherine Ashford has guarded a secret through years of abuse from her husband and now, after his death, from his brother who is also guardian to her children.
Hard living and fighting wars has numbed Julian Ashford, Lady Katherine’s former love. Then, as so often happens, fate steps in.
A traitor is smuggling gold across the Channel to Napoleon Bonaparte, and Julian is ordered back to Halton Hall and Katherine, the woman he’s tried for years to forget. It's her secret and their increasing danger that rekindle the love they once shared.
Even when a murder reveals the shocking truth of the gold smuggling, nothing can prepare them for the devastating betrayal that awaits when they finally face the mastermind behind the sordid operation. Will they survive—and will their love?

The Proposition

 

They met on the eve of a battle. One enlisted to avoid prison, the other enlisted to avoid the money lenders. On the bloodied fields of France, Harry Connelly collapses beside the corpse of Andrew Conroy. It is a risk, a hanging offence—and his only hope for a future. Harry swaps identity discs.

Now as Andrew, he is just another face in post-war London until a letter arrives with a proposition. Accepting is out of the question, refusing pushes him into a nightmare of greed, blackmail and murder. To survive he must live this lie without a mistake. Then he falls for Lacey and her secrets. Will the truth set them free or embroil them even further in the webs of deceit that surround them.

Perilous Love is a firecracker of a story. Jan does an amazing job of being historically correct. She drops you into Belgium at a critical point during WWI and you feel the tension and fear of the uncertain times her characters are experiencing. I don't normally read Historical Romance because I catch too many historically incorrect facts. I didn't do that in this book. I can't wait to read another of her books!

I second everything Eileen said above. Besides all the historical accuracy and the suspense--which is real--I loved the love story! Jan's writing always captivates me, but this book blew me away.
