BOOK BLAST: SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY by Jackie Barbosa

Sleeping with the Enemy - Tour Banner

When Mrs. Laura Farnsworth discovers the blood-stained body of a man wearing the distinctive red coat of the British army, her first instinct is to let dead dogs lie. It has, after all, been just two days since the Battle of Plattsburgh, and the disposition of enemy corpses is hardly her purview. But then the man proves himself to be very much alive by grabbing her ankle and mumbling incoherently.

After almost twenty-five years in His Majesty’s service, Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Langston never expected to wake up in heaven, much less being tended by an angel. But when he regains consciousness in the presence of a beautiful, dark-haired woman and with no memory of how he came to be there, what else can he think? Except it’s rather odd for an angel to have an American accent.

As the long-widowed Laura nurses the wounded Geoffrey back to health, the attraction between them heats from a simmer to a boil. Bound by his oath to the British crown, Geoffrey should be working to find his way back to his regiment and from there, to England. Instead, he’s sleeping with the enemy…and thereby committing the crime of desertion if not treason. But then, who’s going to find out?

If only Geoffrey didn’t have a family back home who refuse to take “missing in action” for an answer.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jackie BarbosaI can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a writer when I grew up, but there were plenty of times when I wasn’t sure I ever would be. As it turns out, it just took me about twenty years longer to grow up than I expected!

On the road to publication, I took a few detours, including a stint in academia (I hold an MA in Classics from the University of Chicago and was a recipient of a Mellon Fellowship in the Humanities) and many years as a technical writer/instructional designer for a data processing company. I still hold my day job, but my true vocation has always been writing fiction and romance in particular.

I’m a firm believer that love is the most powerful force in the world, which that makes romance the most powerful genre in the world. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

  1. Hi, Jackie here. Thanks so much for hosting the tour!

    Just as an FYI, the book is currently pre-order priced at $2.99. At the end of the day tomorrow, the price will go up to $3.99, so a pre-order or release day buy gets you a 25% discount.

    I also want to mention that, although SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY is officially the final book in the series, I wrote a Christmas-themed bonus epilogue, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME, that will be coming out in October and I’m giving it to my newsletter subscribers for free. So if you might like a free short story, bop over to my website and subscribe to my newsletter. I promise that i won’t bombard you inbox or sell your information to anyone!

    I should also mention that book three in the series is currently on sale for just 99 cents. (It’s normally priced at $3.99. It, too, will be on sale through tomorrow). The title is A MATTER OF INDISCRETION. The French heroine is (unbeknownst to her) the illegitimate daughter of the British prime minister and the hero is a British diplomat sent to get her out of France. So, road romance and yeah, there’s only one bed! You can get buy links here.

  3. This sounds good, and the epilogue, too! I’m glad you found the way to writing, perhaps those interim years were perfecting your ideas!
