They are lovers on opposite sides of a brutal war, with
everything at stake and no possibility of retreat. They can
trust no one—especially not each other.
Major Lord Peter Tremayne is the last man rebel bluestocking
Kate Grey should fall in love with, but when the handsome
British viscount commandeers her home, Kate throws caution
to the wind and responds to his seduction. She is on the
verge of surrender when a spy in her own household seizes
the opportunity to steal the military dispatches Tremayne
carries, ensuring his disgrace—and implicating Kate in high
treason. Painfully awakened to the risks of war, Kate
determines to put duty ahead of desire, and offers General
Washington her services as an undercover agent in the City
of Brotherly Love.
Months later, having narrowly escaped court martial and
hanging, Tremayne returns to decadent, British-occupied
Philadelphia with no stomach for his current assignment—to
capture the woman he believes betrayed him. Nor does he
relish the glittering entertainments being held for General
Howe’s idle officers. Worse, the glamorous woman in the
midst of this social whirl, the fiancée of his own dissolute
cousin, is none other than Kate Grey herself. And so begins
their dangerous dance, between passion and patriotism,
between certain death and the promise of a brave new future
together.

I think that the fire the ignites a person to hate can be also directed to love. I find that hate is a passionate emotion and that passion can be redirected. I think that the best way to engage me is the verbal foreplay of an excellent debate - so, yes, I think enemies can become lovers. (Carla Carlson 9:40am March 6, 2013)

I love enemies turn to lovers storyline. Both sides learn a lot from each other that sometimes everything is not what it seems. That's when they overcome their differences. (Kai Wong 12:08pm March 7, 2013)
Love and hate are both strong emotions that tend to be linked. You can't really hate someone you don't have some kind of relationship with (you CAN dislike them intensely), and you can't really love someon you don't have some kind of relationship with (you can lust after them or like them or even idolize them, but not TRULY love them). Both emotions involve our entire attention, so they make for excitement. (Donna Holmberg 12:31pm March 7, 2013)
