Destiny's Daughters

The burning desire the young patriot spy feels for the printer's daughter may put both their lives in danger in this first book in the series Destiny's Daughters. Sterling Thayer's plan is ingenious. On Christmas Eve, he arranges to meet his twin brother. He plies him with drink, takes him captive, and assumes his identity. The uniform fits perfectly-no one has ever been able to tell them apart. From then on, he is Captain Grayson Thayer, tried-and-true Tory in the King's army. Sterling's scheme to infiltrate the high ranks of English officers is daring and dangerous, but more dangerous to him still is auburn-haired Reagan Llewellyn. The printer's daughter and her father are forced to put him up in their home and he sees her every day. From the moment he first lays eyes on her, he is lost. He yearns for her body and soul. He wants to be with her always-without pretext. But how can he do that without risking both their lives?

The beguiling story of the bootmaker's daughter and the English officer who fancies her, a man and a woman on opposite sides whose destinies come together in unbounded passion . . . Maggie Myer helps the rebel colonial cause by selling faulty footwear to the King's army. When Captain Grayson Thayer catches her stealing supplies for the rebels, she knows she's in serious trouble. That redcoat is everywhere and has eyes in the back of his head. Now how can she escape his notice? Captain Grayson Thayer is in a bind too. He has spent seven long years rising in the ranks as a full-fledged Tory officer, all the while reporting back to the rag-tag American militia as an undercover agent. Secretly, his heart is with Maggie. Grayson Thayer is tired of living a lie. It takes every ounce of his strength to play the role fate forced on him. Maggie hates him, he knows it. He can feel it. If only he could tell her his secret . . . As Grayson's fate becomes entwined with Maggie's, they are in danger from treacherous enemies. As tensions rise on the eve of war, events spiral out of control and Maggie and Grayson must make a leap of faith-or risk losing their very lives.

For the first time Gabrielle savors the sweet touch of a man who knows how to love a woman, a gentleman so unlike drunks who tried to grope her at the trading post, unwelcome advances she politely repelled.
