Passion's Return

A Romance and the American Ranger Short Story

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

She survived his death once…

New York Colony, 1758. Hunted by the French, widowed Abigail Brewster is running with destruction at her heels. Desperate to reach the safety of Fort Edward, she refuses to let this war claim the only thing she has left—her life.

Fergus MacDonnell, scouting ahead of his ranger company, tracks the lone survivor of an enemy raid. He thinks he is risking his life for an innocent settler, only to discover the woman who betrayed him.

She thought he was dead. He thought she had forsaken him. But furious raiders are closing in, and if they can’t find a way to forgive each other, no amount of rekindled passion can save them.
