The Heart of Ashcombe: A Tale of Disguise, Devotion, and Defiance

By Eva Lyndale

She became a soldier to save her family. But in the fires of the American Revolution, her greatest battle will be for her own soul.

After her twin brother's death in a duel, Lady Charlotte Ashcombe refuses to see her family's legacy destroyed. Defying the laws and expectations of 18th-century England, she cuts her hair, binds her chest, and takes her brother's name-entering the British Army as Captain Charles Ashcombe. In a world built by and for men, every command is a risk, every word a lie, and every heartbeat could expose her secret.

Sent across the Atlantic to the American colonies, Charlotte finds herself at the center of a war for freedom she barely understands. Pursued by Lord Alistair Harrington-a ruthless British intelligence officer determined to unmask her-and drawn to Captain Nathaniel Hale-Cavendish, a brilliant soldier whose honor and compassion threaten to unravel her disguise, she must fight to keep both her secret and her heart intact.

As rebellion ignites and loyalties shatter, Charlotte faces an impossible choice: cling to the identity that protects her family or fight for the truth that could destroy everything. Sweeping, emotional, and suspenseful, The Heart of Ashcombe is a gripping tale of courage, deception, and forbidden love set against the storm of revolution.
