Will Reed is out to settle a brutal score. The disgraced Rebel officer's own men want him hanged, and an enemy has ordered him killed. Clearing his name and evening the score can only begin with one person, the woman he once loved, Union spy Kate Sinclair.
For years Kate used seduction as a lure. She never let her heart get involved--until she fell in love with Will. Grieving his death, her joy at discovering him alive shatters when she is confronted by a bitter, vengeful man who will stop at nothing to learn the truth of her betrayal. As danger pursues them, Kate fights to tear down the barriers around Will's heart. But her most powerful weapon may ultimately destroy her--surrender.
