Baldwin and Bronwyn serve side by side at Greenway Court, the Virginia plantation of Lord Thomas Fairfax and his nephew, Thomas “Bryan” Martin. Bronwyn tends the household while Baldwin works the tobacco fields, and it is here—on the brink of revolution—that George Washington visits his old friends and first encounters the young couple whose lives are about to change forever.
Their love leads them to marry in secret, defying the rules placed upon servants. But when war erupts between the colonies and England, Baldwin must choose his allegiance: the British homeland that cast him out or the Patriots of the new world he’s come to call home. Forced into one side and later captured as a prisoner of war, his fate takes a dramatic turn he never anticipated.
Meanwhile, Bronwyn guards a dangerous secret while managing the household and receiving visitors from both sides of the conflict. When that secret is exposed, she is banished from the plantation—left to wonder if Baldwin will ever find her again, or if the war will keep them apart for good.
Reviews
"A Revolutionary Engagement was an amazing story of love divided by war and the real struggles of the men and women of the Revolutionary War. Bronwyn and Baldwin were so much in love, but had so much going against them. The heartaches and triumphs. The sheer determination to be together when everything was pulling them apart. Relying on friends as well as strangers. Having faith and inner strength. I highly recommend this amazing book to everyone, whether you are a history buff or not. I definitely did not want to put it down."

"Wow!!! Cheryl R. Lane does it again in Book 2 of The Wellington Patriot Series. "A Revolutionary Engagement" is a must read. The novel is a descriptive told historical romance tale. Cheryl R. Lane offers the richest character details I have ever read. The reader gets to know each and every character and actually get involved in their stories. She has developed the characters and their conflicting emotions well. The author gives the reader a brilliant weaving of historical facts and fiction that brings this period in America's history to life. Her delivery to the reader is exceptional!
Bronwyn's and Baldwin's lives were changed forever when they became indentured servants in the colonies of the New World (You must read how this happens in Book One "Voyage of the Heart."). This Book Two is "just the beginning of forever." This novel is so well done, I highly recommend and can't wait to see what is in store for Bronwyn and Baldwin in Book Three of The Wellington Patriot Series!"
