In London, Lady Sophia Hamilton has private plans for the Prince Regent.
At Greenwich, a French emigré soldier of the Chasseurs Britanniques arrives in England—and is arrested and court-martialed. Is he a deserter, a royalist, or a spy?
With the resurgence of the Emperor, France is deeply divided, while London under the Prince Regent is full of ambition and treachery. And thus, as Napoleon sweeps northwards, Sophia Hamilton and Jacques Decernay find their own affairs perilously linked.
It is a time of mistrust, when even passion may hide more than it reveals.
A time of fear, when overnight a lover may turn into an enemy, the hunter become the hunted. The time of Waterloo.
“THE CHASE is a powerful love story that will leave you breathless. Cheryl Sawyer has outdone herself again with an authentic historical woven with mystery, vivid imagery and an intense passion that will have you turning the sizzling pages one after another. Sophia and Jacques are bigger-than-life characters that are surrounded by colorful secondary characters that bring
this enchanting tale together. I cried when two souls torn apart by war and deceit came together to soar as one. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Sawyer’s work. THE CHASE will go on my keeper shelf along with her other novels.”
