Destiny’s Shadow

2nd Edition

     The country stood on the precipice of a civil war. Emotions ran high, violence reigned on the Kansas-Missouri border, and Missouri bushwhackers came calling. Alexandra Stratford realizes that the attack on her family is not random. She knows who is behind it and sets out for revenge.

     From the first moment he sees Alexandra, Logan Drake is intrigued. She is breathtakingly beautiful with silver blonde hair and startling sea green eyes that, even from a distance, appear depthless. But something doesn’t ring true about her. She is unchaperoned, conservatively dressed, and rejects out of hand any admirer who dares to approach her. Such is a lady on a mission; such is a lady to be avoided. When it is brought to him that she is seeking to hire a mercenary, he is further intrigued. When he learns who it is she is pursuing, Drake violates his edict and answers her call. Too late does she realize that the bold, brash, and darkly handsome mercenary is not who he says he is, that he has an agenda of his own to satisfy and may be using her to achieve it. As their harrowing quest takes them from the evils of a Missouri plantation to a spy ring in the Nation’s Capital, secrets are unlocked and a love revealed, but will it withstand the trial of trust and the test of war?

Reviews

“This exceptionally well written fiction surpasses the usual Civil War novel for passion and subterfuge. The virile hero and the vivacious heroine are my kind of characters. Plenty of subterfuge, intrigue, and passion to the very end. I highly recommend it.”  Five Stars!--posted on Amazon

“ANOTHER GREAT READ! I read the author's A Love Too Proud and loved it. I was skeptical that Destiny's Shadow could live up to expectations, but it didn't disappoint. If you are a Civil War enthusiast, this is a book for you. Once again the characters have depth and the repartee between the hero and heroine is smart, sexy and fun. I heartily recommend them. Looking forward to reading the rest of her books. FIVE STARS!”--posted on Barnes and Noble
