Mary
Ellis is releasing her latest historical romance in
time for vacation. Here's your chance to win an autographed
copy of THE LADY
AND THE OFFICER and a beautiful totebag to take to the
beach.
Serving briefly as a nurse after the battle of
Gettysburg, Madeline Howard saves the life of a colonel in
the Confederate Home Guard. But even though Maddy makes her
home in the South, her heart and political sympathies belong
to General James Downing, a soldier from the North.
Colonel Haywood has never forgotten the beautiful nurse, and
when he unexpectedly meets her again in Richmond, he is
determined to win her. But while rubbing elbows with army
officers and war department officials in her uncle's
palatial home, Maddy overhears plans for a Confederate
attack in northern Virginia. She knows passing along this
information may save the life of her beloved James, but at
what cost? Can she really betray the trust of her family and
friends? Maddy's heart is pulled between loyalty to those
who care for her and wanting to help the man she believes is
on the right side of the conflict.
