It is an unforgettable tale of two men and one woman...of honor lost and won...of a love that will steal your heart...

A fateful night during the Yankee’s invasion of Texas changes young Lori McClintock’s life forever, her innocence stolen and a baby on the way…while the unknowing father, Eric Ross, is off fighting with the Cavalry of the West.

When Eric’s older brother offers to marry her, Lori is stunned. She’s fantasized about Adam Ross noticing her, of living on his beautiful estate and of being adored by a man she’s adored her whole life.

Now a battle has been ignited between brothers—careening toward an explosive end...threatening to expose a long-buried family secret...and awakening a ravenous passion not in one man, but in two…
