His Shadowed Heart ((Books We Love Regency Romance)) - Plot & Excerpts
Pulling up the collar of his waterproof and settling his wide-brimmed hat even firmer on his head, he attempted to peer through the downfall, searching for signs of Wellington’s army, but none were visible. Eventually, mounting a rise, he perceived what appeared to be a large encampment laid in orderly lines over the valley’s floor. There were scant signs of life, the rain having driven all but a few hardy individuals to seek shelter beneath canvas, and setting his horse on the precarious decent, he too longed for the comforts such shelter would afford The overland journey had gone better than he had dared hope with warnings of rebel Spanish guerrilla activity fresh in his mind, against which even his nationality was not guaranteed proof, and he attributed this to the fact that he traveled alone, drawing no attention. As he neared the camp, two armed sentries stepped forward to challenge him, raising their rifles to shoulder level and demanding that he identify himself.
