Description

Book Jacket: 1861 Maryland After her father is killed in the Civil War, Bond Stockard is left homeless unless she’s willing to accept a neighboring man’s offer to become his live in mistress. Refusing, Bond steals one of his coaches and intends to escape to her relative’s home in New Orleans. It’s a dangerous trek, especially with the war going on, yet desperate times require desperate measures, and she’s willing to risk it. However, during a blizzard, her driver loses his way, and the carriage overturns down an embankment.

The following morning, while making their way to Washington to meet with President Lincoln, Major Robert Ashley and his brother Captain Josh Calub come across the coach wherein Bond lies unconscious, nearly frozen to death. After taking her to their nearby home, Robert learns her father, General William Stockard was the dying man he’d promised he’d care for his family. After circumstances beyond Robert’s control finds himself enamored with his young charge, he urges marriage by proxy once she awakens.

Concerned for Bond’s reputation, Robert’s mother forces the wedding to take place immediately upon Bond’s recovery. However, with the aid of a jealous ex-girlfriend, she once again escapes another man’s clutches and hurries south.

A series of misunderstandings, along with the cruelty of war cause Bond’s life to become embroiled with lies, lusts, jealousy, and hatred. Will she ever find a man she can love and trust? You’ll only learn her fate by reading her story…

  15. Lilly Perl

    Wow. Should be a best seller! Very creative. Characters are unique and likable. I loved all the places it took me. I lkie that it took place during the civil war but not bogged down with too much detail of the war.

  16. Astra Monosis

    Decided to read this book since Ms Russell said it was the first novel she’d written. If this is her first, then I’ll definitely be buying more. It was a great story. Started right out with action and kept my interest to the end. I loved reading the first chapter of the sequel. Will buy!

    Well written, well paced, really good strong characters. Bond Stockard was the perfect heroine. Robert more than made up for his lust. The brother Josh made me laugh more than once. I’ll definitely be buying the sequel about him.

  25. Deim Dyler

    I hadn’t read any books taking place during the civil war and this one didn’t disappoint. The factual history was spot on, bringing the story to life without getting bogged down. Ms Russell kept the war as the backdrop, not using it as a history lesson. Dialogue was believable, pace, fast, characters came to life. I highly recommend Destinies Intertwined. I’m reading Honor Bound now. Wow! Talk about grabbing the reader’s attention by adding chapter one at the end of Destinies Intertwined. A tease you won’t be able to pass up!

  26. Debbie L

    5 Plus. Reading the sequel now.

  27. Mia h
