    Excerpt:
    Ellis Garrison breathed in the scent of fresh cut hay as he refolded the heavy wool horse blanket and threw it over the stable gate. He loved the smell. It reminded him of spring and everything new.  He began to straighten when his ears filled with a horse’s panicked cry. The hair on his arms rose.
      The cry came again. Good God! He knew the sounds of all his beasts with his back turned. He did not recognize it. It had to be the new horse he had taken on yesterday against his better judgment.
      He looked around for his cane. It had been over eight months and he still wasn’t used to using it, or keeping track of where he’d propped it. Why could he never find the bloody thing when he needed it?
      The horse cried again, this time the protest mixed with the curses from his stable hand.
      He dragged his wounded leg and limped out of the barn towards the shouts. Ellis raised his hand against the bright light and squinted at the sun over head. The Friesian, Liber, reared up on his hind legs over the stable hand sprawled on his back in the dirt. The man fumbled under his dirty coat and pulled out a pistol.
      “No!” a female voice cried. “He’s only scared. Don’t shoot him!”
      Callie Dunning? What the bloody hell was she doing here? The feather-brained chit was going to get herself stamped to death or shot if she carried on like this. Should I care? She’d crushed his heart before he’d left for the war.

    Excerpt:
    Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.

    Chapter 1
    England, 1855
    Clarke Garrison watched Adeline walk across the vast lawn of the estate. He wasn’t exactly sure why he was compelled to watch her every move. They’d known each other since childhood. 
    Adeline wasn’t a child any longer.
    Her dark hair hung to her waist in curls that only accentuated her deep blue eyes and porcelain skin. Womanly curves filled her white and blue flowered cotton dress nicely making his mouth dry. She was hands down one of the most beautiful women in this part of the shire, but there was something about her that set her apart from all others. She’d proved to him she was strong and resilient, not a shy maiden like many he’d met. He hated those giggling, silly girls his mother kept introducing him to. Even after the tragedy she’d endured, she’d held her head high and looked others in the eye when they spoke to her. 
    He didn’t know why he chose to put himself through this torture day after day. He’d avoided Adeline at every turn possible since his return from the Crimea war.  If she knew the truth, he was the last person she would ever want to talk to.
    He was responsible for her
