Honor Before Heart

Risking it all for love and valor . . .  When Corporal Sean MacBranian awakens after being injured in battle, he is sure the luck o' the Irish has run out on him. Or that he's died and gone to Heaven. There can be no other explanation for the blond-haired, blue-eyed angel standing before him. But his "angel" is a truehearted lass named Ashlinn, and she wears a nurse's uniform. Her tender ministrations have brought him back from the brink of death-and have given him a new reason for living. Ashlinn knows their parting is inevitable; her handsome hero must return to the 69th infantry of the Union army, and there are no guarantees of his safe return. With most of her family already destroyed by the war ravaging America, she is sure she cannot survive another loss. Yet she feels powerless against the draw of Sean's strong and steady heart. Neither time nor distance nor the danger of battle seems to lessen their bond. But when their secret letters are intercepted, the devoted nurse's love will face the ultimate test . . .
