Love conquers all—even a proud man's need to stand tough. No matter what it takes to heal his wounded soldier, Daniel is willing. Daniel keeps a secret close to his chest—he's long believed his soulmate-to-be, Jesse, was killed in action before they had a chance to fully bond. Jesse had asked Daniel to wait, to be patient, and to grow up a little before he fell in love. In return, Daniel promised to wait for Jesse and take care of him—always. Now, word's come that the report was in error. Jesse survived, and has returned home, but doesn't want to see or hear from Daniel. When Daniel tracks Jesse down, he finds a broken, wounded man who isn't glad to see him. While Jesse knew finding his soulmate would help him heal, he'd wanted to become strong enough to be worthy of Daniel before they reunited. Angry and ashamed, he's ready to run again. It's a hard row to hoe and a nut almost too tough to crack, but Daniel's come this far in search of his soulmate. He won't give up now—and he won't let Jesse give up either.
The Exiles, Book Two, of The Borderland Trilogy. As the Civil War shatters the American nation, Kansas and Missouri clash in fierce warfare over slavery, and members of the Hartman clan who have settled on both sides of the border learn that family blood is not thicker than water. They are compelled to choose sides in a conflict so overwhelming that it threatens to tear apart their family ties forever. Before the war ends, family members will die at the hand of their own kin, others will vow revenge, some will choose the bushwhacker trail—and one Hartman will decide whether to expose a plot, which could affect the balance of the war in Missouri. There would be no turning back once the members of the Hartman family had bitterly chosen their sides, and no reconciliation would ever be possible for this fiercely righteous frontier family, as they square off against each other.
