Summary "Love Under Fire" by Randall Parrish is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, it focuses on themes of duty, loyalty, and love entwined in conflict. The story begins with a tense infiltration across enemy lines, centered around the character of Lieutenant Robert Galesworth, who is on a mission to intercept crucial dispatches. The opening of the book introduces a suspenseful scenario where Galesworth is stealthily crossing a river, fearing for his life as he approaches the enemy camp to gather intelligence. He overhears two Confederate officers discussing the vital despatches that need to be delivered to Beauregard. The character of Billie, later revealed to be Willifred Hardy, is also introduced, complicating the Lieutenant's mission as she is an unsuspecting courier. This intriguing setup lays the foundation for developing a complex relationship between these two opposing characters, setting the stage for both romantic and strategic suspense as they navigate their intertwined fates amidst a backdrop of war.
