Summary

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

    Readers love Beth Moran: 
    ‘This was such an engaging read – emotional at times, sometimes painful, but ultimately so wonderfully uplifting and filled with hope. One I’d very much recommend to others – and the author’s writing just continues to get better and better with every book.’ 
    ‘Beth Moran has done it again, she has written a another book that had me running through all my emotions, she always somehow manages to pull me through the wringer when I come out the other side I feel warm and uplifted.’ 
    ‘An absolutely compelling, addictive heart lifting and heart breaking emotional read that kept me turning the pages until late at night. I absolutely devoured it in one sitting and then was gutted I had finished it so quickly but there was no way I could put it down!!’ 
    ‘I realized one day a while back that I’ve read nearly everything Beth Moran has had published. And why? Because she’s a great writer of imperfect people learning to navigate this imperfect world.’ 
    ‘I highly recommend this author as someone who writes beguiling fiction so well, that you really wish it was real life & that the characters had a chance of becoming your best friends. My only regret was that I wished it had been a longer read, as I didn’t want it to end.’

    He shoots. She rolls her eyes. Love might still score. 
    Koren Roberts 
    Elijah and I were childhood best friends turned totally love-struck teens who swore we’d elope the summer after graduation. It was supposed to be forever. 
    Then came the photos of him with other girls—posted all over social media. And his sudden refusal to talk about our wedding in public? Yeah, I panicked. 
    So when a mysteriously convenient out-of-the-country internship landed in my lap, I took it. 
    Oh, and I left on our wedding day. 
    Elijah Jonas 
    It’s been a year since Koren left me on our wedding day. 
    Now we’re both back in a lineup. It’s not hockey—I’m a groomsman. She’s a bridesmaid. Same beach where we fell in love. 
    Same tangle of feelings we never quite untangled. 
    As a winger, I’m used to chasing plays, but nothing prepared me for the face off with the girl who once promised me forever. She’s all eye-rolls with not-funny threats of violence with her dinner fork. 
    Seriously, it looks sharp, and I’m a little afraid. 
    But amid the chaos of rehearsal dinners and late-night bonfires, the truth about what really happened last summer begins to surface. The chemistry between us hasn’t faded, and I’m starting to think neither of us truly wanted this breakup. 
    This isn’t just a reunion. It’s a rematch. 
    And this time, it’s till death do us part.
