Abide With Me — Kate Silver

A prim and proper Puritan, Charity Irving was shocked to the core to discover a man in her bedchamber. When the handsome intruder boldly confessed to being a traitorous Cavalier, she knew she should turn him out. But something about the gray-eyed stranger drew her to him, and only when forbidden passion flared did Charity realize that her heart was in danger. Determined to see Charles II restored to England's throne, Charlie Dubkins had daringly acted the spy, and barely escaped with his life. But now, to his chagrin, he found his fate firmly in the hands of a comely lass who thought him kin to the devil himself. Yet as the days turned into nights, Charlie discovered that the fire burning beneath Charity's prim facade warmed his very soul. If only he could find a way to fulfill his duty and still win sweet Charity for his own.
