Uniting Enemies: A Historical Novel of 1801 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781533362797)

Author Mary Ann Trail captures both romance and intrigue as she brings England to life in Uniting Enemies, set in 1801 at the dawn of English and Irish reunification.

Serving as England's chief negotiator for the 1801 Act of Union puts Ralph Coxe's family in jeopardy when the Irish militant group Madra Dubh tries to kidnap his children. His sister Marion Coxe agrees to take his twin boys and flee Dublin to relative safety in London with their father, the retired general Ambrose Coxe.

Marion must repair her relationship with her father and replace a wardrobe that ended up in Dublin Bay during the difficult journey to London. And with information slow to reach her, there's still much she doesn't know, leaving her in the dark and in danger. Soon, she finds herself torn between her new love interest, Captain Jeffrey Chadwick, and an old flame she hasn't seen in over four years, Nathan Donnay.

Before she can get her bearings, Madra Dubh makes its appearance known in a move meant to disrupt the unification talks. Will it succeed-putting Marion's family at risk once again?
