    This enemies-to-lovers romance opens in the winter of 1798 when Ireland is on the verge of rebellion against British rule. Colin Wainwright is a son of Anglo-Irish aristocrats and a former captain in the British Army. He deplores how the native Irish are treated yet feels a grudging loyalty to the crown.


    Brenna O’Hanlon is the daughter of tenant farmers. As a young girl living on the Wainwright estate, she adored Colin from afar until her brothers attempted to kill his father, Squire Wainwright, for seducing their older sister. The family fled to Dublin, where Brenna became a housemaid.


    Ten years later, Colin meets the new housekeeper, none other than Brenna—hired under a false name by his father. Judging her far too young for such a post, he accuses her of being his father’s latest doxy. Her temper flares, but she convinces him she is no such thing. Colin hatches a plan, making it appear that the two are lovers in order to thwart the squire’s wicked plans for Brenna. Although she hates this shameful deception, it inevitably feeds the growing attraction between her and Colin.


    However, Brenna has a secret. She’s a spy for the United Irishmen, a society dedicated to Irish liberty. She means to intercept messages between Squire Wainwright and a high-placed militia officer. Her brothers, Rory and Kevin, followed her north to pass on any information she obtained. She has little success but takes guilty pleasure in romantic, sometimes humorous, interludes with Colin.


    Their story takes a dark turn when an incident involving loyalist bullies infuriates Colin. Upon discovering Brenna’s true identity and mission, he comes to a decision that changes both of their lives. Intrigue and violence dog their steps as the country rushes toward war. In spite of such harrowing circumstances, or perhaps because of them, the flames of desire and a deepening love bind the unlikely pair tighter and tighter.


    Rebellion breaks out on May 23rd. Brenna and Colin are caught up in the fighting. Will they attain a very personal victory in the midst of war?
