Description
SOME THINGS A KING CANNOT COMMAND...
From Independent Publishers (IPPY) Gold medal winner Judith James - author of Broken Wing and Romantic Times nominated Best Book Libertine's Kiss - comes RT Top Pick Soldier of Fortune. Rich with history and sizzling with passion, this is a love story you won't soon forget.
Soldier of Fortune tells the story of Hope Mathews, a character inspired by Nell Gwynn - and Captain Robert Nichols, a war-weary Parliamentarian captain first introduced to readers in Libertine’s Kiss. Haunted by his past, hardened by years of fighting and consumed by a quest for revenge, Robert Nichols’ honor is a fading memory. When Charles II confiscates his lands to reward one of his backers it seems life as a mercenary is all that is left, until the king makes Robert an offer he cannot refuse. Marry the king's mistress, a beautiful courtesan with humble beginnings and Robert will keep his lands and be richly rewarded. To Hope, who dreams of independence, it’s a crushing betrayal - while for Robert it represents a new low. Bitter, disillusioned, trapped in a marriage neither of them want, their clash is inevitable. Can these two wounded souls learn to trust each other and build a future that is theirs alone?
Although Libertine's Kiss and The King's Courtesan are connected stories with recurring characters they both can be easily read as a stand alone. Readers who enjoyed Libertine's Kiss, however, will have fun catching up with Lizzy, Charlie and Will.
