Nightingale — Susan May Warren

ESTHER LANGE DOESN'T LOVE HER FIANCE she feels trapped in the engagement after a mistaken night of passion. Still, she grieves Linus when he's lost in battle, and the letters sent to her by medic Peter Hess, who stayed by Linus's side as he lay dying, give her a strange comfort. So much so that she strikes up a correspondence with Peter, a wholesome Iowa farm boy. But is he? Peter is hiding a secret, something that could cost them both dearly, especially when the past comes back to life. In this bittersweet home-front battle between duty and the heart, only one will prevail.
