Jealous Hearts — Deborah Miles

Life wasn't easy in the year of 1838 and Bregetta Smith found it even harder when her father died and her brother Jim fell into trouble with the law. Sargent Alistair Duncan had his duty to do and the fact that he was deeply attracted to Bregetta couldn't be allowed to sway his sense of duty. But they did become lovers, until Bergetta's best friend saw fit to meddle … but there was still the question of Jim. What chance did they have, unless that problem could be solved?
