Sweet Deceiver

From the plains of post-civil-war Texas, across the southwest border, a daring deception flames into tempestuous love!

The daughter of a wealthy Texas rancher-turned-Rebel spy, Josephine Dereaux is fleeing for her life through the post-war South -- with a Yankee price on her head! In desperation, she dons a soldier's tattered grays and bluffs her way onto a cattle drive headed into Mexico...

There Jo clashes with Cade Garrison, who sees right through her disguise...and whose stormy sea-blue eyes tempt her beyond all reason. But Cade is also not what he seems. The brash, sweet-talking cowboy is really a Union officer sent to intercept the Confederate spy who is carrying vital documents to Emperor Maximilian.

On a journey fraught with treachery and danger, a man and a woman who dare not trust each other will find themselves torn between duty and desire, loyalty and passion. Heaven help them if they lose their hearts along the way...
