Produktbeschreibung

This book has been updated and enhanced into the Shades of Gray Trilogy (Duty Bound, Honor Bound and Glory Bound)

Honor and conviction clash with loyalty and love in this epic Civil War love story that pits brother against brother. Often compared to Gone with the Wind, Shades of Gray chronicles the clash of a Confederate cavalry officer with a Union spy as they defend their beliefs, their country, and their honor.

This is the tale of Colonel Alexander Hunter, a dauntless and daring Confederate cavalry officer, who, with his band of intrepid outcasts, becomes a legend in the rolling hills of northern Virginia. Inspired by love of country and guided by a sense of duty and honor, Hunter must make a desperate choice when he discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he vowed to his men he would destroy.

Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the paths of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever.

NOTE: Shades of Gray was re-published as Noble Cause with a happily-ever-after ending. The original Shades of Gray was expanded and enhanced into the Shades of Gray Civil War Trilogy.
