Golden Promise — Phyllis Herrmann

Sarah Gentry had seen what war could do to men. He beloved brother Adam had returned from the bloody battlefields of the Civil War desperately wounded in body and soul. And now he was gone without a trace. But Sarah was determined to find him. Her search took her back to exotic New Orleans, where she discovered a shattering truth about the brother she thought she knew, and found herself torn between two men: bold brash Morgan Cain, a newspaper reporter haunted by his own dangerous secrets, and Phillip D'Arbereaux, the handsome, highborn southerner few women could resist. A woman alone in a sultry seductive city, Sarah would learn the meaning of survival, and risk all she cherished most for a breathtaking love she never dreamed could be.
