For Belle Barclay, a dream comes true when Falcon, her beloved distant cousin, returns home from the Virginia Militia.

Restored to her senses, she flees from Falcon's strong, seductive arms.

Urged by both their families, Falcon proposes to Belle -- an offer her pride won't let her accept. Deeply wounded by the rejection, Falcon returns to the militia, leaving Belle plagued with second thoughts that send her searching the battlefields for him. Now, reunited behind British lines, Belle and Falcon are caught where life and death are separated by a thread, and where the ravages of could bring them closer together -- or tear them apart forever...
