🎧Listening Length = 29 hours A “poignant” romance (Library Journal) with nearly 30 hours of audio! In the 1860s, Southerner Alaina is accused of espionage and forced to flee to New Orleans — where she finds refuge with Union doctor Cole. From a New York Times bestselling author who is known as the creator of the modern historical romance novel. A woman burdened by war…A doctor torn between passion and duty…A sweeping tale of love in the face of dishonor from the incomparable storyteller–Kathleen Woodiwiss. Alaina MacGaren is forced to flee the devastation of her homeland in the guise of a young boy, only to find sanctuary in the arms of an enemy. Cole Latimer is a dashing Yankee surgeon who has served the Union faithfully, and his tender heart compels him to help a ragged, innocent “”lad”” in need–never suspecting the rags conceal a bewitching belle suspected of being a rebel spy. But Alaina’s masquerade does not fool Cole for long. And the strength, courage, and breathtaking sensuality of this woman whom it would be treasonous to love sets duty and desire at war within him. Yet Destiny has joined them for good or ill–and they both must follow where their hearts would lead them, if they are to build a glorious new life together out of the ashes of the old.
