Genre:
"Bestselling author Mary Ellis presents The Quaker and the Rebel
Book 1 of her brand-new Civil War historical romance series
which tells the stories of brave women in times of testing and the men who love them. Emily Harrison's life has been turned upside down. At the beginning of the Civil War
she bravely attempted to continue her parents' work as conductors in the Underground Railroad until their Ohio farm was sold in foreclosure. Now alone
she accepts a position as a governess with a doctor's family in slave-holding Virginia. Perhaps she can continue her rescue efforts from there. Alexander Hunt is the doctor's handsome nephew. While he does not deny a growing attraction to his uncle's newest employee
he cannot take time to pursue Emily. Alex is not at all what he seems--rich
spoiled
and indolent. He is the elusive Gray Wraith
a Quaker leader of Rebel partisans. A man of the shadows
he carries no firearm and wholeheartedly believes in Emily's antislavery convictions. The path before Alex and Emily is complicated and sometimes life threatening. The war brings betrayal
entrapment
and danger to both of them. Amid their growing feelings for each other
can they find faith in God amid the challenges they face and trust in the possibility for a bright future together?"--c Provided by publisher.
