Boston, MA 1773: Shards of Eliza Campbell’s life crash to the ground when she discovers a devastating secret: her father was a spy for the Sons of Liberty. Determined to uncover the truth–at any cost–not even a marriage proposal from the dashing British Officer Samuel Martin can dissuade her. When rescued from British capture by handsome patriot Thomas Watson, Eliza discovers what her father risked his life for and yearns to know more. But will her budding attraction to this courageous patriot damage her already wounded heart? After years of being blackmailed by Officer Martin, Thomas plans to start a new life in the small town of Sandwich. However, when his actions place Eliza and her sister in danger, he must act quickly to protect them from falling into enemy hands. If the three of them are discovered, their lives will never be the same. Now, not only must he protect Eliza, he must protect his heart from a love that is sure to wound him far greater than any British soldier ever could.

Questions about Amber’s Book What inspired your story? When I was 13, I started developing a strong love for the American Revolution, and being a hopeless romantic from the beginning, I had the idea for a love story and actually started writing this story way back then. But the years past and I almost completely forgot about it until I started reading Historical Christian Romance and though I’d like to try and bring my story to life. Of course, its not the same story from twenty years ago, but it has its roots from way back when. I wanted to show the struggle that Whigs and Tories shared—and how the revolution really was a civil war in many ways—tearing up families and changing their very way of life. Which scene is your favorite, the one you never tired of working with? Give us a reason to look forward to it. My favorite scene by far is the scene where Eliza is asked to read something from a Shakespeare play—the romantic tension sizzles!! I always looked forward to editing/reading that scene. Did you include a real historical character or incident in your story? When I was doing research for my story, I learned about man named Nathaniel who was the town’s doctor and also a very active patriot. I was intrigued by him and even included him in the story. (He will be the hero in my second book in the series. 🙂 What is your home on the web? www.amberlynnperry.com

Questions about Amber’s Reading Who is your favorite Christian Historical hero? I absolutely love Luke from TO WIN HER HEART. I actually think about him a lot—especially when I am writing because I loved how he worked through his struggles and how he really turned his life over to God. I also LOVE how he loved the heroine!!! So dreamy! I could go on and on about him, but I won’t. Needless to say, that book is fabulous. (Melissa says: I agree with you, he’s awesome (Mainly because my real-life hero is a lot like him. :). Love that blacksmithing arm on the cover. Though I’m glad I can’t smell the coal smoke he’s wafting around, that I put up with it in real life–this is one cover you don’t want to scratch-n-sniff. Ha!) If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only take one Christian Historical Novel, which would you pick?   Oh boy, I wouldn’t even think twice! Without a doubt I would pick A BRIDE MOST BEGRUDGING. The hero in that book is mind-blowingly amazing. In fact, it’s really hard to be choose who is better—Drew or Luke. This book has it all: fabulous setting, unforgettable characters and romantic tension that will stay with you for ever. I love, love, love this book.   If your job was to sell one author’s historical fiction (besides your own) which author’s wares would you want to peddle? Oh gosh, you know, honestly I would have to say Deeanne Gist. I absolutely LOVE her books. I mean LOVE. I think almost all of her books are in my top twenty. She is a brilliant author and when I grow up, I hope I can write exactly like her. (In fact, funny side note…she was the one who got me thinking about writing this story! I had emailed her long ago, saying “I have this great idea for a story, but I can’t write—so I think you should do it!” She wrote back and said, “You are very sweet, but I can’t undertake a war story right now. You should write it!” So, I did. ;))   What was the last Christian Historical Novel whose characters stayed in your head days after you finished reading it? THE PURSUIT OF TAMSEN LITTLEJOHN was amazing! I thought about that for days. Not only is it set in the 1700’s—which I love, Lori Benton’s writing is exquisite! I love the setting and the turmoil affecting the characters. I really couldn’t stop reading.
