A Spanish Dilemma (Merry Men #9)

Robert Seton is determined to do something for the war effort, despite the fact that his father won't buy him a commission in the army. With enough pressure, pleading and persuasion, he convinces the Foreign Secretary to give him an assignment. It could have been an empty job observing the talks in Basel, Switzerland between France and Spain, but in Robert's hands he will use it to make a difference - if only his mind would stop straying to the Spanish ambassador's beautiful daughter.

Isabella Guzman is determined to avenge her brother's brutal murder at the hands of the French army. She's accompanied her father to Basel to ensure that he stay strong and that the French get out of Spain as quickly as possible, taking as little as possible. Her efforts, happily, are being helped by the new representative sent by the English government. What's disturbing is how handsome and charming he is - she could easily get caught in his spell.
