The Civil War has torn Brianna Taylor?s family apart and made her a widow. Determined to ease the suffering of the wounded crowding the Union hospitals and honor the memory of the man she loved, she embarks on a career as a nurse. But then he arrives?a patient who makes her feel alive again in spite of her resolve to stay detached. Captain Justin Thompson understands the cost of war all too well, yet he felt compelled to fight for the Union his father died defending. Wounded at Cold Harbor and left to die at a military hospital, he owes his life to Brianna, who seems determined to guard her professional boundaries despite his best efforts to breach them. Just as he?s winning the battle for her heart, he?s forced to return to the front of a cruel war that could very well separate them forever.
