A Soldier's Love — Natalie Dean

"I am not a man given to foolish superstitions, Miss O'Hara, but I daresay that John Turner's soul will not rest until the mystery of his son has been resolved, and he was counting upon you to do so. Will you accept?"

Molly O'Hara was just a little girl when she lost her heart to James Turner, the handsome, high-spirited young man who, along with his twin brother, was the heir to the Turner Plantation. But the Civil War tore families apart; it split the Turner brothers as one fought for the Union and the other fought for the Confederacy. The war took Molly's father's life and left her mother a distraught widow.

Now the brothers are gone; one died in battle and James suffered the fate of Andersonville Prison, where most men are never heard from again. But when Molly, who grew up faster than her years, decides to become a mail-order bride at age eighteen, she answers an advertisement from a man named James Turner who runs a ranch in Texas. When she arrives, the man who introduces himself as Jim Turner is reserved and distant, nothing like the James Turner she remembers. But as their love grows, she learns more about the dark places in his soul and she realizes that part of him never left Andersonville.

Can Molly get James to finally face his past and admit who he is? Will her love run deep enough to break through the scars of war?
