Destiny's Daughters

Sterling Thayer's plan is ingenious. On Christmas Eve, he arranges to meet his twin brother. He plies him with drink, takes him captive, and assumes his identity. The uniform fits perfectly—no one has ever been able to tell them apart. From then on, he is Captain Grayson Thayer, tried-and-true Tory in the King's army. Sterling's scheme to infiltrate the high ranks of English officers is daring and dangerous, but more dangerous to him still is auburn-haired Reagan Llewellyn.

Captain Grayson Thayer is in a bind too. He has spent seven long years rising in the ranks as a full-fledged Tory officer, all the while reporting back to the rag-tag American militia as an undercover agent. Secretly, his heart is with Maggie.

Gabrielle LeBeau is wild like the north woods where she was raised by her father the French fur trader. Running an outpost is in Gabrielle's blood and she knows every path and tree and the Indian names for them. Over the years, she has seen many city folk venture into the pine woods to play frontier woodsman. She fears them, feels disdain for them. But when she finds Jefferson Alexander half froze to death in a snow storm, she doesn't think twice and saves him. As he sleeps, she looks at his handsome chiseled features. This stranger is most welcome in her home.
