Lieutenant Stephen Byrne stands guard over a British envoy asleep after an all-day drinking binge. So when his fiancee arrives, Stephen feels safe leaving his post for a quick meal. Yet his worst nightmare comes true when the Englishman slips from the room and leaves the hotel.
Victoria Manning will soon have everything she’s ever wanted–a loving husband and a new life at Fort Leavenworth as an Army officer’s wife. When loneliness and a special picnic lunch for her fiance bring her to the Willard Hotel, their meal soon falls by the wayside as their passion ignites and their agreement of abstinence is put to the test.
Stephen and Victoria must put their special night on hold as they search for the fugitive envoy. Can they find him and save Stephen’s commission in the Army, or will their future together be in jeopardy?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
Loving Byrne was very well written. At most, I’d say it was missing a few commas. For a short novella, the characters were surprisingly well drawn,very interesting and memorable.
There was also a good plot for such a short story. I was interested from the opening paragraph and stayed interested to the very end. The plot was filled with very interesting twists and turns that kept my attention threw out the whole story.
The couple were due to marry shortly, and couldn’t keep their hands off one another. They were also sweet and romantic with each other at points.
I was pleasantly surprised by the story. Lively characters, plenty of sensuality, a good ending. Definitely worth reading!
