About the book:

The Enemy’s a shipwreck, a soldier, and holding onto faith at Our House on Jakaranda Laan.

He learned a lot of things in the army. Falling in love with the enemy’s sister wasn’t one of them.

Lieutenant John Beauchamp’s faith is as tattered and torn as the storm-tossed ship transporting his regiment to Cape Town in 1795 when they shipwreck on a South African beach. But the steadfast faith of persecuted local, Anneke Terblanche, and her unlikely friend, a freedwoman, inspire John to remember how sweet a life of faith can be. If only Anneke’s brother wasn’t trying to kill him.

Anneke has never met anyone more important to her than her twin brother, until John sweeps into her life. John is both raging storm and fragrant breeze. But her brother loathes the English and fears they mean to control the Boer’s new settlement at Cedarfontein. If Anneke chooses John, she’ll lose her twin and any chance of hearing her brother say he loves her.

Will Anneke and John leave their hearts behind on that fateful South African beach, or does God have another plan for this war-torn soldier and his faithful frontier girl?
