A Regency Romance set in war time Spain

Dawn Lindsey's book is a little different from the normal Regency, as it is set in Spain as the French occupy and later the British drive them out. The heroine Regina Alderstock's father died leaving her mother to wed a Spaniard. By the time the story is told her mother has died as well but she remains in her step father's household. Her step-brother is leading one of the guerrilla bands. Major Adam Canfield puts himself at risk to save a child, Regina has his injured body brought back to her step father's house. There are some interesting descriptions of camp life and the hardships of war.
