When Ellis Dumont discovers a mysterious stranger unconscious on her Louisiana property, she can't ignore the fever-driven warnings he mutters about treasure, war, and danger—but trusting him could put everything at risk. As the Mexican army threatens Texas and the men of her family are scattered across the frontier, Ellis must make an impossible choice: protect her own heart and security, or journey into the heart of revolution to help end the conflict. Torn between duty and desire, she'll find that sometimes the greatest courage isn't found on the battlefield, but in the decisions we make for love and country. This thrilling blend of history, adventure, and romance sweeps you into a pivotal moment in American history where one woman's bravery could change everything.
