The Colonel’s Contraband

About the Book

ER nurse and herbalist Seraphina Laurent descends from a line of women abandoned by their men and doomed to loneliness and longing.

Seraphina wakes in 1862 Virginia during the Civil War, contraband of the Union Army. But when Weld appears and notices her rare beauty and healing skills, he’s determined to elicit her help and to make her his. However, Seraphina isn’t ready to become the loved and left, a certainty unless they can bridge time.
