Embers of the Heart

A Land Ravaged by War... A Woman Torn by Divided Passions

For more than three long and lonely years, beautiful Anna Kelley waited... never knowing whether her beloved husband, Darryl, was dead or alive, wondering if the bloody Civil War that was dividing North and South would somehow destroy their precious love. Then, in a shocking moment of violence, the waiting was over and Anna knew--but the truth was more devastating than death could ever be.

Now, Anna's only hope lay in putting miles between her and the wrenching memories of a man best forgotten. In the wild cow town of Abilene, she struggled to build a new life for herself. And when handsome lawman Nate Foster followed her there, she longed to welcome him into her heart. But the war was still not over for Anna. A terrible secret burned deep within her soul... a secret she dared not confess... a secret that could cost her everything she loved.
