Dax Pelletier is ready for a new life, far away from the one he left behind in Savannah following the South’s devastating defeat in the Civil War. The ex-Confederate general wants nothing more to do with commanding men and confronting the tough truths of leadership.

     Rachel Davenport possesses skills unlike those of her Boston socialite peers—skills honed as a nurse in field hospitals during the Civil War. Eschewing her northeastern suitors and changed by the carnage she’s seen, Rachel decides to accept her uncle’s invitation to assist him at his clinic in the dangerous and wild frontier of Montana.

     Now a Texas Ranger, a promise to a friend takes Dax and his brother, Luke, to the untamed territory of Montana. He’ll fulfill his oath and return to Austin, at least that’s what he believes.

     The small town of Splendor is what Rachel needs after life in a large city. In a few short months, she’s grown to love the people as well as the majestic beauty of the untamed frontier. She’s settled into a life unlike any she has ever thought possible.

     Thinking his battle days are over, he now faces dangers of a different kind—one by those from his past who seek vengeance, and another from Rachel, the woman who’s captured his heart. 

Ratings and reviews

After the Civil War, the West was still a wild and rough country, full of danger from humans and animals. Dax Pelletier is a retired Southern General trying to find his way in a new world, while Rachel Davenport knows she doesn't belong in Boston's polite society. So she goes to Montana to work as her uncle's nursing assistant.

Western romance set post Civil war. Celebrates the love between brothers, with their newly inherited ranch, good over bad as well as the main couples love for each other.

I've read three of your books and continue to be amazed at how much I love them. To me being raised in house with Westerns everywhere am only too add you to the list of the things best.
