About This Book

Set during the Revolutionary War's British occupation near a manor house, the narrative follows a small group riding toward that estate where loyalties and love collide. Military tension, secret passages, daring rides and sudden confrontations propel a romantic plot involving a mounted Continental dragoon, hostile royal and Loyalist forces, and personal reckonings that lead to flight, confession, and a final challenge. Scenes combine action, intrigue, and intimate moments as plans of retaliation and rescue unfold against the countryside of 1778.
