A Brighter Dawn
She Picked Up a Rifle...
Boston heiress Verity Talmadge marched into the one place a true lady dared not go—the Union Army's muddy, raucous campsite in Falmouth, Virginia. She had come to accuse Major Garrett Knox of being the Confederate spy who had caused her new husband's death. But no one would listen to her—a well-dressed woman in buttons and bows, even if she knew how to prove her mettle, given the chance. So, disguising herself by slipping into a uniform, Verity Talmadge became a soldier.
And Began a Battle for Love...
Garrett Knox needed a sharpshooter for a dangerous raid, and the best man for the job was a woman—the new recruit he recognized immediately as the beautiful widow, Verity. As desire stirred, he needed to win her trust, and soon he wanted to win her love. As the woman he adored and the war he hated marched ever closer on a collision course of glory and destiny, he could only hold fast to his dreams—of a land reunited, of a love fulfilled. And tomorrow, a brighter dawn.

Absolutely a delight to read. The characters were wonderful. Stobie Piel has a magic touch. I wish she'd write some new ones. I thought the plot was a bit rambling but the hcaracters were so fascinating. I read it quickly. And the Civil War battles were so vivid and so awful. My heart was wrung for those brave men shattered and the way their loved ones were devastated too. Garrett was delicious! Verity was incredible. All the secondary characters memorable too.
