In Love’s Time by Kate Breslin

1918 – Russia

At the height of World War I, two sweethearts face impossible odds in this powerful tale of courage, duty, and heartbreak.

In the summer of 1918, Captain Marcus Weatherford arrives in Russia on a secret mission, with a beautiful ballerina posing as his fiancée. He’s there to find the Romanov tsarina and her son and glean information about a plot to assassinate Lenin. As the danger intensifies, Marcus’s sense of duty battles with his desire to return home to Clare, the woman he truly loves, before it’s too late.

Military hospital orderly Clare Danner still suffers from Marcus’s betrayal after learning he’s engaged to another woman. Clare also fears losing her daughter, Daisy, to the heartless family who took her away once before. Only Marcus can provide the critical proof needed to save Daisy, but when an injury leaves him powerless to help, Clare’s fate–and the fate of the top-secret mission–hangs in the balance.

One Comment

Although I enjoy many historical time periods, this author always captures my interest with her WWI tales. Full of romantic difficulties, a country estate, spies and political intrigue, this is one of the best of its genre.
Marcus works for the Admiralty during the war and goes on danger missions for his country. While he loves Clare and her daughter, he wants to protect them so keeps certain things secret. After an unfortunate injury, he struggles to remember the recent past. With Clare as his nurse, he makes slow but steady progress. But will it be enough and in time to prevent calamity? Confused and conflicted, could he be falling in love with Clare all over again?
Ms Breslin immersed me in the era and made me care about Clare and Marcus as well as his family and the injured soldiers at his estate. The scenes in the conservatory with sister Fanny and Lieutenant Ainsley were refreshing and hinted at another story. With all the turmoil, the characters still conveyed their faith in God and strove to rely on Him for the answers to their life-altering situations.
