**When former Confederate officer Robert Truax pays a visit to Miriam Markham, the widow of one of his fallen comrades, he begins to dream of a future he'd long since given up.**
It all started with a pact made while burying a fallen comrade. Six men promised they would look out for each other after the war. Robert Truax means to keep his vow ... even if he must now look after Miriam Markham, his lieutenant's beloved widow.
When he arrives at Miriam's house in Galveston, Texas, things are worse than he imagined. Rumors abound that her husband, Phillip, was a traitor, and Miriam is receiving threatening notes. She's being treated as a pariah in town and also getting a lot of pressure to sell her house and leave the island. Upon meeting Robert, Miriam feels that she's finally made a friend. But soon she learns that he's nothing like she originally thought. He not only served in the Confederate States Army, but he was in the same prison camp where her husband died-and he seems to know more about Phillip's death than he's letting on.
Now Miriam must determine whether to trust Robert enough to give him her heart and let him help her ... or to remain loyal to the memory of her husband, the man she is slowly realizing she actually didn't know well at all.

This wasn't up to the standard I have come to expect from Shelley Gray. The plot was an excellent combination of romance and suspense, but I was underwhelmed by the plot twist which revealed who was behind the threatening letters widow Miranda Markham had been receiving for the last year, and that meant the novel ended with less than a bang. \\r\\n\\r\\nI wasn't impressed by the editing. There were spelling mistakes, a couple of irritating anachronisms (especially strange, as Gray's books are usually well researched), and lots of annoying dialogue tags-which perhaps shouldn't have distracted me, but they did. I was left wondering if I was reading a pre-proofed review copy (which I sometimes do get, but which are usually marked as such). If not, are the spelling and writing errors the fault of the author, or of the editor and publisher?\\r\\n\\r\\nSo while the plot and writing weren't up to the high standard I expect from the author and publisher, the characters were excellent. Miranda Markham blossomed as she got to know Lt Robert Truax, who was a true hero and proved that there is more than being a gentleman than being born into money and influence. I found the growing romance between the two as interesting as the suspense plot, but the romance had a better and more believable resolution. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Zondervan and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for the review.
