Her Defiant Heart
by Goodman, Jo
When Civil War veteran and hero Christian Marshall attempts to aid a
mysterious young woman escaping a New York City asylum, he is reminded
that good intentions count for nothing and painful memories are best
drown in a good bottle of whiskey and the arms of a whore.
Jenny Holland discovers the respite and refuge she needs at Marshall
House. To remain in this sanctuary and protect her life-and-death
secrets, she must make herself necessary to its master.
But serving at the will and pleasure of such a dark and dangerous
man might not be enough, and her attempts to heal his wounds will expose
her own.
