Laurel's Love — 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 girl's 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 he loyalties and her heart.
