About the Book
Their love is caught in the crossfire of the American Revolution.
Militia soldier Fergus Shaw wants only to defend his home and family from British invaders in the war-torn South. But sparks fly when he meets the feisty beauty Melina Bryant, a refugee from the captured city of Charlestown, who blames the militia for failing to save her city. Forced to leave behind everything and everyone she’s ever loved, Melina must make a prudent marriage to protect her property. There’s no room in her plan for Fergus—but her heart longs for him all the same, creating a conflict that tests the boundaries of loyalty and devotion. Will Fergus and Melina’s love overcome the turmoil of war, or be lost in its wake?
