Synopsis

November, 1802. A truce holds in the war between England and France, but the conflict has moved into the lives of Commander Will Marshall and Lieutenant David Archer. Separated for nine months after Davy was wounded, they are now reunited in His Majesty's secret service—only to find that their relationship is still in troubled waters. With Will in command, he silently wrestles with the fear that his next order may send Davy into the path of another bullet—a fatal one. Davy has no idea why his lover has grown distant, but he does know that Will walked away once before, and never even answered his letters. Should he have returned? Their reunion was passionate, but Will's evasiveness makes him wonder if he has made a serious error. If their love is to survive, they must face and overcome their misunderstandings, before the tide of war sweeps over them once more.

Eye of the Storm, the third in the Royal Navy Series by Lee Rowan, travels from England to France with Will as Commander in charge of a covert mission. He and Davy are forced, once again, to confront the fears that both separate and join them and find a way to share their love in a time when it was more than just forbidden—when it was a crime.


Reviews

“Beginning with what very likely is the best opening sentence I have ever had the pleasure of reading, Eye of the Storm makes good on its promise to be a remarkable read. Lee Rowan has again captured the flavor of the time period, writing a captivating story with a deft hand and an eye to historical detail. As was the case in the first two books in the Articles of War series, Rowan’s characters are richly and realistically drawn against a vivid backdrop of Her Majesty’s Navy in the early 1800’s, and the dynamics of same-sex relationships of the time explored with finesse.”

    Kiernan Kelly, author of In Bear Country

“A bold, adventurous tale of two courageous British seamen in love in 1802, risking their lives at sea and on land, told by Lee Rowan, who never disappoints!”

    Ruth Sims, author of The Phoenix and Counterpoint: Dylan’s Story
