A beautiful Historical Romance set in WW1:

On Wings of Devotion

About the book:

All of England thinks Phillip Camden a monster--a man who deliberately caused the deaths of his squadron. But as nurse Arabelle Denler watches the so-dubbed "Black Heart" every day, she sees something far different: a hurting man desperate for mercy. And when their paths twist together and he declares himself her new protector, she realizes she has her own role to play in his healing.

Phillip Camden would have preferred to die that day with his squadron rather than be recruited to the Admiralty's codebreaking division. The threats he receives daily are no great surprise and, in his opinion, well deserved. What comes as a shock is the reborn desire to truly live that Arabelle inspires in him.

But when an old acquaintance shows up and seems set on using him in a plot that has the codebreakers of Room 40 in a frenzy, new affections are put to the test.

Book Beginnings

A stranger stalking down the street shouldn't make her hands tremble in anticipation.

Friday 56

Thanks to the newspapers, she had names of people who considered him an enemy.

My thoughts so far

This book, like all the others by this author, starts slow but grabs my attention with her beautiful words.  The story also builds and I'm now at a point where I want to see what happens next!
