Dear Readers,
It has given me pleasure to write, Only You for you. There is no greater compliment to me as an author than for my readers to become so involved with the characters that you want me to write more. That said, I will happily write Joshua’s story to complete the Rutland Series. Joshua is a spy on the frontier working for the Patriot’s in their fight for freedom during the American Revolution.
I’m also happily returning to the Civil War era and the Rourke family. As you know, my first installment, Surrender the Wind detailed the journey of Catherine Fitzgerald, a wealthy New York heiress and legendary Rebel General John Daniel Rourke. My second installment will acquaint us with General Rourke’s younger brother, Colonel Lucas Rourke, head of Civilian Spying for the North. Colonel Lucas Rourke is honor bound to uphold the Union and responsible for a vast network of spies. When Confederates abduct him, his only hope is the enigmatic spy who surrenders her heart and soul to save him. Rachel Pierce is the notorious Saint. Witnessing her father’s brutal murder by slaveholders, she emerges disciplined in the high art of spying, moving through southern latitudes like a ghost with no trace of her footsteps and defying every one of her enemies without the slightest hint of their knowledge. Caught in a dangerous web of intrigue, they uncover secrets that will prolong the war and cast them both in danger.
Although I can’t tell you much more I can promise you this: like my last novels, it is written with one goal in mind—to make you experience the laughter, the love, and all the other myriad emotions of its characters. And when it’s over to leave you smiling…
Warmly,
Elizabeth St. Michel
