TORN LOYALTIES—EMBATTLED HEARTS!
She’s a rebellious Southern belle on the loose in Civil War Galveston, and he’s the handsome, masterful Yankee ship captain who’s determined to tame her . . .
Bored and thirsting for adventure, beautiful, spoiled Laurel Ashland escapes from a nunnery in Galveston, Texas, with her maid, Fancy. But Laurel charges straight into danger when she and Fancy land in a den of Yankee sailors occupying the island! Their dashing leader, Captain Jacob Lafflin, fires Laurel’s blood even as his arrogant ways pique her ire. How dare the insolent rogue appoint her his personal maid and expect her to sleep in a cramped anteroom just feet from his bed! Laurel vows to become a lady spy for the Confederacy and turn the tables on the maddening Yankee.
Jacob Lafflin is fascinated by Laurel but baffled by the obvious lies she has told him. Who is she really and why is she trying to cozy up to him and his men? And why is he having such a devilish time keeping his hands off the sassy, seductive belle?
Their battle of wills ignites ever-fiercer passions between them. But as the dramatic Battle of Galveston unfolds, both Jacob and Laurel must choose between loyalty and love. Will Laurel ultimately betray Jacob, or save him and surrender to her heart?
