Laurel's Love

by Eugenia Riley

DEFIANT WAS HER PRIDE, BOLD WAS HER LOVE, VIOLENT WAS HER PASSION — Too sensuous and wild for a proper Southern belle, Laurel Ashland had been sent to a Catholic girls' school in Galveston to be tamed into a lady. But the North's invasion of that sultry port city lured her from the nunnery into the dangerous world of espionage -- and into a Yankee officer's arms.

Captain Jacob Lafflin looked into Laurel's sapphire eyes, tangled his fingers in her silky black curls, pulled her sweet lips to his... and ignited a desire as all-consuming and savage as the battles raging throughout the land.

Now in this time of civil war, a girl with reckless dreams becomes a woman with deep desires... sworn to betray the man she loves... and torn between her loyalties and her heart.
