Description
British Spies… in Oregon
“I’m not your enemy.” He held her gaze, willing her to believe that lie.
It’s 1845. Britain and America both claim the Oregon Territory, and neither side is willing to back down. As the two nations prepare for war, the British government sends Lieutenant Geoffrey Montgomery to Oregon City on a confidential mission. Doing his duty means lying to everyone—including the woman who catches his attention the moment they meet.
Lia Griggs needs to find a home for herself and her nephew. She has the chance to carve a niche for herself in Oregon City—so long as she is prepared to hide her past from everyone, even the Englishman who quickly becomes her friend and ally... and more.
To survive, Geoff and Lia both need to pretend to be someone they're not. The last thing either of them wants is to fall in love. And as the threat of war grows stronger, choosing to stay together could cost them everything they have.

I really enjoyed The English Lieutenant's Lady. I loved the main characters and how they developed in the story. They didn't appear to have much in common, but they really did. In the end, each showed great courage that helped set the course for their future.
Geoffrey Montgomery is working undercover for the British government. As he travels to the Oregon Territory to spy, he comes upon, Lia and her little nephew. Lia is also headed to the Oregon Territory so that she can take care of her nephew and get him an education. The two find that they are not enemies and share an attraction to one another. When Geoffrey sees Lia again in town in need of rescue, he comes to her aid. The two become friends and enter into a mutually helpful agreement that they will pretend to court. But pretend soon turns to love. When Geoffrey announces their engagement, Lia agrees to it as well. But Geoffrey has to decide whether his duty is to his country or to his heart. He cannot be completely honest with Lia about what he does for a living but he is honest in the ways of the heart.
Lia also was dishonest with the town in order to get a teaching job. She denied her heritage knowing that she would not be welcome if they knew of her moth'er's heritage. She has to decide if telling a lie, will change her. When all secrets come to light, Lia shows amazing courage and seeks to confront Geoffrey and see if his lies also included lying about his heart. What happens next is the best part of the book!
The book is well written and kept my attention throughout.

What a terrific inspirational romance. This book is well written with a good plot and characters. I loved the Oregon setting. I am not usually a fan of historical fiction but certainly enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book.
