The Civil War threatens to tear a man from his love and family in “a powerful love story to hold close to your heart” from a national bestselling author (RT Book Reviews).
 
When the brave Colonel Colter Saxton finds his long-lost Elizabeth hiding amidst the tumult and danger of Confederate Richmond, his mission has one aim: he’s determined to figure out why she abandoned him years ago to marry another.
 
Then he meets Nicole, Elizabeth’s young daughter, and realizes his single night of passion with Elizabeth long ago yielded more than the undying love in his heart—for Nicole is his daughter as well.
 
Thrust into fatherhood and determined to make up for lost time, Colter will stop at nothing to keep his family safe from the perils of war and reclaim the heart of the woman he loves—in a tale of love lost and family found by “a powerhouse writer whose emotional intensity keeps you enthralled” (RT Book Reviews).
