Your characters: made them have disabilities?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"I didn\u2019t consciously set out to give Adrian Bryce, Perilous Love<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, a disability until he and Gabrielle were hiding from German soldiers in a hay loft.<\/p>\n

Adrian\u2019s life of wealth and beautiful women came to an abrupt end when the British Secret Service ordered him to accompany his estranged wife Gabrielle to Belgium. They wanted evidence her uncle was supporting the German Empire. What Adrian found, as the Germans crossed the Belgian border sparking World War One, had them running for their lives. It\u2019s in this loft, that Gabrielle learns of Adrian\u2019s infidelities, his lies and his secret life. Then, when it\u2019s safe to climb down, he falls breaking bones in his foot. This injury is a great leveller, not only is there a price on his head, he can\u2019t walk and must rely on the woman he\u2019d shamefully neglected to get them to safety.<\/p>\n

Not many people survive a war without physical or emotional injuries.<\/p>\n

Harry Connelly, The Proposition<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, was one of the \u2018what the hell\u2019 soldiers. \"\" He enlisted to escape arrest and a wife who despised him. On the eve of the Battle of Amiens, he meets Andrew Conroy, a man with no family. In the thick of that huge battle a bayonet slices through Harry\u2019s leg and he collapses beside the body of Andrew Conroy. Could he? It\u2019s a huge risk, it\u2019s his only hope.  Harry swaps identity discs. Now Andrew Conroy, he\u2019s one of the thousands of casualties and injuries in overcrowded hospitals, and eventually discharged as medically unfit with a leg that leaves him lame. Months later, the impact of this deception hits home when an unknown cousin of the dead man finds him. What follows pushes Andrew into a nightmare of murder and deception. His disability will be his alibi and almost his downfall when he meets Lacey, with secrets of her own. The only way to get to the truth is tell her the truth.<\/p>\n
