Snare

The Peninsular War burns across Spain, but the true battle rages in one English officer's heart. When Colonel Sir Roland Carew returns from the front lines, he brings more than wounds home to his beautiful wife and her companion. A web of mistaken identities, whispered accusations, and one woman's dangerous jealousy threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. Sabatini weaves the grand machinery of war against the intimate devastations of the human heart, asking what remains when honor becomes a weapon and love turns to ash in your mouth. This is historical romance at its most visceral: swords cross for more than territory, and the most dangerous enemies wear the faces of those who should love us most.
