Once they were wounded children, each helpless against the adults who controlled their lives. Later, they became exploring officers with Wellington’s army, under Colonel Lionel O’Toole, known as Lion.
Famed for their varied skills and their intrepid courage, they were renowned for carrying out missions where others had failed.
Now Napoleon has fallen, they all have a new mission. Each must use his own unique abilities to carve a niche for himself in civilian life.
Lion, their wartime colonel, will use his influence as Earl of Ruthford to help, but he wants more for them. He hopes they will, like him, find a love that enriches their lives.
Chaos Come Again
Tormented by his past and by vile rumours, will this Regency Othello allow a trusted liar to destroy the love between himself and his wife?
Nothing will stop Colonel Lionel O’Toole from leading his men on the invasion into Spain. Not the abducted heiress he rescues and makes his wife, nor old secrets that radically change his place in his family, nor the ill health of the earl his grandfather.
But his devotion to duty might be derailed by the spy in his inner circle and vile rumours about his wife.
Will the love between Lion and Dorothea endure, or will deceit and betrayal tear them apart?
