Forgotten
Rumor has it, the war is about to end. But that doesn’t stop Billy Denton from running away to enlist. He’s lived a privileged life on the Wellesley estate, where slavery is seen as a necessary means to operate their textile production. Believing no human should be enslaved by another, he’s willing to fight—and even die—to change the future of the woman who holds his heart.Living and working at the estate is all Angel knows. When Billy tells her he’s joining the Union army, she begs him to stay, fearing she’ll lose her best friend . . . the only man she’s ever loved. She’d rather remain a slave, than have him harmed in any way.Angel attains freedom, but time passes and there’s no sign of Billy. In her heart, she believes he’ll come home to her. Their love may be forbidden, but can never be forgotten.Holding on to hope . . . Angel waits.

About the author
Jeanne Hardt
38 books84 followersJeanne Hardt has always been involved in the creative arts in one form or fashion.
In November of 2010, a dream inspired her to write her first novel. Having moved from the Northwest to the South in the mid-nineties, she was drawn to Southern history.
Though she moved to Tennessee to pursue a career in music and acting, once she set her hands on the computer keyboard, she discovered her true passion and hasn’t stopped writing since.
Her stories are far from typical romances, though she promises a happy ending. She’s recently branched out into other genres, including young adult and contemporary women’s fiction. However, her true writing passion will always remain with historical fiction.
She currently lives in Tennessee with her husband, their little dog, Jax, and a multitude of dreams.

Really nice story.
Good story. I enjoyed the characters terms. Did not know it was against the law for interracial marriages even back then. The slaves were freed but still second class .

Excellence in Heart
This final chapter of the River series is the best. Lives torn never seeming to be mended again come full circle in this well written, fantastically executed novel. I love a wonderful ending to a series and Ms. Hardt delivers.

It was truly a very good book. I was especially impressed with Angel and Billy and the approach to a inter-racial marriage. The book told the story of life in the 1800's and portrayed the changing times and times to come.

This is the third book in the River Romance series. My favorite. I love books set during the Civil War that don’t romanticize it. This book fit the bill.
