It is 1813. After the triumphant victory at Vitoria, Lord Wellington's army advances into the mountainous territory of the Pyrenees. Five long years of war have brought them to within sight of the French border for the first time. Before he is ready to cross into France, Wellington awaits news of political and diplomatic initiatives among the great powers of Europe. He also needs to secure the coastal town of San Sebastian, which remains stubbornly in French hands. Meanwhile, across the border, Marshal Soult is sent to rally the disordered French forces and to mount an invasion to relieve the beleaguered town and push the Allied army back. Major-General Paul van Daan is awaiting the return of several valued members of his brigade and missing those who are not coming back at all. He is in no mood to deal with an unreliable junior officer, a possible miscarriage of justice and an unwelcome call for volunteers from his brigade to storm the breaches of San Sebastian. Anne van Daan has her usual responsibilities in camp and with the medical services. In between keeping a careful eye on Captain Michael O'Reilly's courtship of her Spanish maid and an even closer eye on a litter of puppies at headquarters she is becoming concerned that Paul's exasperation with an incompetent young officer is making him uncharacteristically unsympathetic and calls on Captain Simon Carlyon's help in the matter. With Leo Manson still on sick leave, Captain Giles Fenwick needs to juggle his company duties with his role as temporary brigade-major and his occasional role as an intelligence officer for Lord Wellington, leaving him no time to deal with his grief at the loss of a close friend. In the French lines, newly promoted Colonel Gabriel Bonnet leads his battalion across the border once again. The chaos of the ensuing campaign and the squandering of lives cause Bonnet to question his reasons for remaining in Bonaparte's army at all. Captain Don Angel Cortez of the 1st Mallorcan regiment is faced with potential disgrace after a near-fatal duel. He is offered an opportunity to retrieve his reputation and revive his career but it means leaving his company for an uncertain future. As the Allied and French armies clash in a series of actions across the high passes of the Pyrenees and on the walls of San Sebastian, everything has changed. Bonaparte's men are defending their borders and for the first time, the end of the war may be in sight. An Unattainable Stronghold is book 8 of the popular Peninsular War Saga.

It is 1816. The long years of war are over, Napoleon is in exile and Regency England is finally at peace. Mr Nicholas Witham, formerly of the 110th light infantry is now land agent at the Yorkshire estate of Lord Ashberry and has found a haven of quiet, far from the bloodshed of war and the horror of Waterloo. With poachers and lost sheep his most pressing concerns, Nicholas is not seeking anything more exciting than the occasional trip to York and a game of cards with friends. The tranquillity of Ashberry is about to be disrupted by the arrival of Miss Camilla Dorne, a young woman of doubtful reputation, sent away from London by her guardian to avoid the consequences of a disastrous and very public love affair with a disreputable officer which has broken her heart. An officer of the army, past or present, is the last man Camilla wishes to spend time with. But she discovers that a lost reputation can bring unexpected freedom and possibly a second chance at happiness. With the shadow of war firmly behind him, Nicholas is ready to move on, but poverty and rising prices bring rumblings of discontent and rumours of Luddite activity in the industrial towns, and as violence erupts, the land agent of Ashberry finds himself swept up in a new conflict where the enemy is hard to identify. Faced with a stark choice between love and duty, Nicholas is beginning to realise that he may not have left the regiment behind at all. A Regrettable Reputation is the first in a series of Regency romances from the author of the popular Peninsular War Saga, following some of the characters into peacetime.

It is 1811. After the disastrous Walcheren campaign, Britain's hopes of defeating the French on land rest with Wellington's army in Portugal. Over to the east, Bonaparte's attention turns to Catalonia where he has ordered General Suchet to capture the coastal town of Tarragona from the Spanish, and promised him his Marshal's baton if he succeeds. Captain Hugh Kelly RN and First Lieutenant Alfred Durrell of HMS Iris are sent to join a squadron under Commodore Codrington which is providing naval support to the beleaguered Spanish garrison. Tarragona has withstood French assaults before, but this time Suchet's hunger for promotion combined with rivalry among the Spanish commanders have left the town in a precarious position. Captain Gabriel Bonnet of the 30th légère, a scarred veteran of Bonaparte's wars, has long since abandoned his youthful ideals and just wants to survive and do his job. However, mistakes made by his battalion commander force Bonnet to shoulder more responsibility while chance encounters with a Spanish woman trying to survive alone and an arrogant young Spanish officer remind him that there is more to honour than winning a battle. As the French bombardment of the town reaches its savage climax, it becomes clear that neither garrison nor civilians can expect mercy from Suchet's invading army. Hugh Kelly and the rest of the Royal Navy squadron face the prospect of managing a daring and dangerous evacuation from the bloody shore of Tarragona. This Bloody Shore is Book 3 of the Manxman series.
