A Brand New Cover


Just wanted to show off my new cover for my Civil War romance, Confederate Rose, just contracted by The Wild Rose Press.


Nicola Martinez designed the cover. Isn't it gorgeous?


Here's the blurb:


Disguised as a man to serve with her husband as a soldier in the Confederate Army, Irish immigrant, Katie Rose O'Reilly, vows to remain in the ranks and seek revenge on Yankees after her husband is killed at Sharpsburg. As she's transporting mail from Richmond back to camp, a stranger startles her, causing her to fall and almost drown in a swollen stream.


Southerner Alexander Hart, a Yankee spy, saves Katie from drowning, then nurses her through a resulting fever. He must keep his identity secret from the beautiful Rebel soldier even as he finds himself falling in love with her.


Katie falls in love with the caring gentlemen stranger, only to later discover he's the enemy. Heartbroken, she turns him in to the Confederates, but then questions her goals and beliefs. Is it possible to put aside her quest for revenge to save the man she loves?

I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. What a beautiful cover, Susan! And the story sounds wonderful.
