George Washington has been marked for death. British agents embedded in the Continental Army wait only for the order to strike. Racing against time, rebel spy Ethan Matlock sets out to protect the one man who can save the Revolution. Without General Washington, the whole American enterprise might easily collapse, for no one else has demonstrated the ability to keep together an army that constantly threatens to fall apart.
Boldly Ethan infiltrates the heart of the British military, occupiers of grand old Philadelphia, where elegant officers posture in drawing rooms and frolic in the bedrooms of the rich. Surrounded by twenty thousand redcoats, aware that the slightest misstep could lead to the gallows, Ethan resorts to vicious measures to unravel a conspiracy of power-hungry men. Against his better judgment, he tangles with the provocative Miss Maddie Graves, whose fierce devotion to the American cause ironically threatens his mission.
Captain Niall McLane might think he has survived the worst that could happen to any man, but as the American Revolution draws toward an end, he finds his troubles have just begun. When Niall becomes a suspect in a gruesome murder, his reputation as a merciless soldier turns the local sheriff and townspeople against him.
Niall's only allies are Andrew Wade, a hopeless drunkard tormented by his act of cowardice, and Andrew's young wife, Clarice, a woman of mettle who captivates Niall's heart. With their help, Niall manages to stay out of jail. But the murders continue, each more horrific than the last, leaving him no choice but to hunt down a killer whose next victim might be the woman Niall loves.
From the mysterious forests of Kentucky to a graceful Virginia plantation, from the fevered heat of battle to the hope and struggle for renewal, A Devil of a Time weaves a tale of courage, betrayal, and forbidden love, of three men grappling with the demons of their past, and the remarkable woman destined to change all their lives forever.
As the flames of rebellion spread across a divided land, a shadowy figure prowls the streets of Philadelphia. Known only as Jack Flash, rebel highwayman, he preys on aristocrats loyal to the British Crown. The unpredictable outlaw always manages to elude his foes, until the night he encounters a Loyalist lady whose fiery spirit could spell his doom.
Alexandra Pennington has her future well planned when a chance encounter turns her world upside down. Betrothed to a blue-blooded king's man, the young widow becomes entangled with a red-blooded rebel activist fiercely opposed to British rule. The sensible course for her is clear, but her bond with the notorious rogue will test her loyalty not only to her king but also to the man she vowed to marry.
Set against the fierce struggle for American independence, This Day is Ours threads the ferocity of war and the price of loyalty with a love forged in the fire of revolution.
