A woman burdened by war...A doctor torn between passion
and duty...A sweeping tale of love in the face of dishonor
from the incomparable storyteller--Kathleen
Woodiwiss.
Alaina MacGaren is forced to flee the
devastation of her homeland in the guise of a young boy,
only to find sanctuary in the arms of an enemy. Cole
Latimer is a dashing Yankee surgeon who has served the
Union faithfully, and his tender heart compels him to help
a ragged, innocent "lad" in need--never suspecting the
rags conceal a bewitching belle suspected of being a rebel
spy.
But Alaina's masquerade does not fool Cole for
long. And the strength, courage, and breathtaking
sensuality of this woman whom it would be treasonous to
love sets duty and desire at war within him. Yet Destiny
has joined them for good or ill--and they both must follow
where their hearts would lead them, if they are to build a
glorious new life together out of the ashes of the old.
