In 1811 on the Spanish front, Arabella MacFarlane and Phillipe Armitage know their position is helpless and they will die before the night is out. Deeply attracted to one another, the duo shares a glorious night of lovemaking before the end. However, she survives but believes he died at the hands of the French. Subsequently, she marries his cousin. By 1815 Bella is in London, a widow when her spouse died just after becoming a Duke. Bella's plans to stay on the family farm as her thirst to help the English soldiers at war ended with Napoleon's downfall.However, Bella's simple plan has a thorn in that her Phillipe, the man she never forgot from that one evening of fire, lives. Though he loves her, he believes she betrayed him, making a relationship between them seemingly impossible.Fans of Regency romance know that Barbara Miller always provides a stirring romantic tale (see DEAREST MAX). Her latest sub-genre entry, MY PHILLIPE, is an action-packed, ardent romance that will cement the author's reputation among readers. Bella is a brave individual initially doing what she believes is needed to help the English cause and later on to protect her son. Though Phillipe's obstinacy occasionally becomes irritating, he remains a powerful person fighting self made demons. Ms. Miller is turning into a strong voice in the historical romance universe.Harriet Klausner
