Romance Historical

Amanda Emerson must break her cousin, a notorious double agent, out of a Confederate prison before his imminent execution. She's a skilled Union operative, but for this mission, she needs a man. Even a man who looks and acts like a Viking warrior. Caught with Rebel battle plans and set for a hanging, Union spy Steve Dunham isn't about to refuse the assistance of the sable-haired beauty who shows up at the jail and slips him the keys to his cell. Of course, she's there for a reason besides saving his neck - he's the key to her plan. He may be trading one noose for another, but he won't forsake her. The spoils of his victory will be her surrender. And the terms of surrender will be sweet.

Re: Angel in My Arms

I'm not usually excited by the Civil War period for books, but it sounds as if it would be perfect for your characters and plot. I will definitely have to add it to my must-read list.

Thanks, Susan! I love an intriguing plot, and the backdrop of the Civil War seemed the perfect time for a novel about female spies...especially given the history of female spies during the war.

I think French Resistance when I think of female spies. 'Angel in My Arms' sounds wonderful.
(Mary Preston 2:59am November 21, 2010)

Sounds like a very interesting idea. I'd love to read it.
(Penny Mettert 3:11am November 21, 2010)

I haven't read any books with the Civil War as background, so can''t say too much about it.
(Diane Sadler 9:49am November 21, 2010)

Who knew the Civil War could be anything but dull!! You had me at the title, but the story line has me totally intrigued!! I honestly have to say that I'm not familiar with your books, so it sounds like I have a little bit of catching up to do. Congratulations on your latest book!! It sounds like you have a winner on your hands!
(Peggy Roberson 9:51am November 21, 2010)

Your book sounds great and I must read it, You offer it in e-book form?
(Vickie Hightower 10:36am November 21, 2010)

I don't think I've read a story that is set against the
backdrop of the civil war. But sounds intriguing.
(Lisa Richards 2:26pm November 21, 2010)

Victoria, Your books sounds facinating. I love that you modeled her after a real person.
(Robin McKay 4:40pm November 21, 2010)

i agree it sounds very good; something new to add to my wish list
(Barbara Studer 6:47pm November 21, 2010)

The Civil War was an intesting time in American history. Now I wasn't there of course, but I have read a great deal about it and actually have visited some of the locations where the battles were fought. You book sounds intriguing.
(Gladys Paradowski 12:16pm November 22, 2010)

I love female spies, after all they've been around for centuries. There's even one in the Bible, Rahab, a prostitute who helped Israelite spies in Jericho to conquer the city.

And there are certainly accounts of female spies who did a great service to their countries. I always appreciate a book even more if it's based at least partially on fact or if it's an actual biography.

Victoria -

I love your books and love how you came up with this story. You always manage to come up with something unique in your stories.

I had heard of women joing the army pretending to be men but never being spies. Can't wait to read this book.
(Jeanne Miro 9:22am November 22, 2010)

would like to read this one
(Natalie Kozaczka 7:54pm November 22, 2010)

Why not include more feminine spies, since a husband/sife team made news with their spying on the side.
