Destiny's Shadow

The country was on the verge of war, and Alexandra Stratford was desperate to rescue her four-year-old nephew from the hands of his powerful and abusive father. When she sought out a mercenary for help, she got more than she bargained for.

Logan Drake had a longstanding score of his own to settle that would allow no interference or distractions from anyone, least of all from a woman. But from the first moment that he saw Alexandra, he knew something didn't ring true. Drawn by her beauty and intrigued by the mystery that surrounded her, he resolved to learn her secrets.

From the evils of a Missouri plantation to political intrigue in the Nation's Capital, their journey would bring them to a truth that neither expected and reveal a love that would be tested again and again by the tragedy of the Civil War.
