Description
Their love could save a continent—or doom it to destruction.
In the year 2068, Europe stands on the brink of another devastating conflict. Amidst the delicate peace, Lady Arinna Grey, known as the Lady Grey, and the enigmatic Earl of Kesmere, Derrick Eldridge, find their love tested by duty and betrayal.
Their secret romance, once a source of strength, now faces scrutiny and danger. Arinna and Derrick must navigate treacherous political landscapes and personal betrayals. Adding to the complexity is the return of old rivals and new enemies, including Derrick’s former fiancée, Danielle, and the shadowy forces that threaten Europe’s fragile peace.
For the Guard, keeping Europe safe has never been more difficult. The hunt for information on the FLF endangers lives, including one very dear to Arinna Prescot, the unsanctioned leader of Europe’s military. As Derrick volunteers for a risky mission to infiltrate the enemy, he leaves Arinna to confront the ministers of MOTHER, who secretly manipulate Europe’s government and seek to remove her from power.
Refusing to step aside, Arinna widens the rift between Europe’s military and MOTHER, leaving the Guard scrambling to find enough soldiers to protect the border. Control of Europe hinges on internal plots, but Europe’s powerful are not hatching the only conspiracies. The battlefield is quiet, but the fighting has not ceased. And its outcome will determine who rules Europe.
Set against a backdrop of regency elegance and futuristic intrigue, The Battle for Europe weaves a tale of romance, suspense, and the enduring power of love in the face of adversity. As Arinna and Derrick fight for their love and the future of Europe, they must confront their pasts and make choices that will change the course of history.
