Thorns of Eden

Major Rayce Hampton is the Confederacy's final hope to turn the tide of war. Haunted by heartache of generations past, love is the last thing he has on his mind when he meets Eden Blair. The emerald-eyed beauty is as headstrong as she is tempting, but Rayce must keep his wits - and his secrets - as he executes his dangerous undercover mission to save the South. Accomplished nurse Eden Blair has secrets too, only she doesn't know about them yet.
Stung by her fiancé's betrayal, she has no reason to trust the scandalous Major Hampton. But as Yankee troops close in, Eden must take refuge in the major's mysterious ancestral home, leading her into the shadowy corners of deceit and desire, where endless love lurks within every soft whisper.
