Historical

They say all is fair in love and war. That is until you meet a lady who lies, cheats and steals to gain her revenge.

Brianna is hell bent on avenging the death of her parents at the hands of Yankee Soldiers.
The simple life of being pampered and spoiled, comes to an end the day the Yankees attack her home in one of the bloodiest battles of the county. To keep her safe, Brianna’s father and mother hide her away with two of their loyal slaves in the secret cellar. When Brianna emerges with the slaves, she finds her life forever changed.

Mere days after she buries her parents, she decides the best revenge is to take on the Yankees herself. Cutting her hair, donning a uniform, and infiltrating the confederate camp, she quickly learns the life of a soldier is not for a lady.

When she is seriously injured and taken prisoner in a Yankee camp, her identity is at last discovered by none other than her fiance, Yankee Captain Tristan Creighton.

Tristan is a successful Captain during the Civil War, and like many has given up everything to help his country. His dedication and loyalty will face bitter challenges as he finds his fiancee has not only joined the enemy camps, but has also shot his brother.

Tristan and Brianna are determined to put duty and family before themselves. Now that they are together they will engage in the most important battle of their lives: the war between, love, commitment, and honesty. From the trenches of the battlefields to the trenches of marriage they will challenge each other and their love until the bitter end.

There is only one problem: no matter how much they want to deny it, their passion for each other sizzles like liquid heat. Brianna and Tristan will soon find that heated passion will guide them to the point of Love’s Soft Surrender.
