Marrying the Royal Marine

A young woman's journey to help in the war against Napoleon brings her close to a brave and caring officer in this historical romance.

As the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, Polly Brandon has always felt like an ugly duckling. So she's amazed when Lieutenant Colonel Hugh Philippe Junot pays her such close attention as they sail for Portugal. She knows this Royal Marine would never look at her under ordinary circumstances, but having his protection is more than a comfort . . . it is a pleasure.

Hugh is immediately taken with the spirited beauty aboard his ship. Her determination to assist with the war effort is admirable, and when she falls ill, he feels compelled to care for her. But Polly still has trouble believing what she sees in Hugh's eyes—that she has turned from an ugly duckling into a desirable swan . . .
