After the War Between the States, a Confederate officer longs to heal the heart of a beautiful woman—but first he’ll have to right the wrongs that were done to her.
Major Ethan Kelly has never been able to absolve himself of the guilt he feels for raiding a woman’s home shortly before he was taken prisoner during the Civil War. He is struggling to get through each day until he once again crosses paths with Lizbeth Barclay—the very woman he is trying to forget.
Life after the war is not much different for former Captain Devin Monroe until he meets Julianne VanFleet. He knows she is the woman he’s been waiting for, but he struggles to come to terms with the sacrifices she made to survive the war.
When Ethan and Devin discover that their former colonel, Adam Bushnell, is responsible for both Lizbeth’s and Julianne’s pain, they call on their former fellow soldiers to hunt him down. As the men band together to earn the trust of the women they love, Lizbeth and Julianne seek the justice they deserve in a country longing to heal.

Book Title: Love Held Captive
Book Author: Shelley Shepard Gray
What do you like about this book:
"We all used to be different people. Time and experience change us. It can't be helped."
Survivors of the Civil War, both men and women were changed forever; marked physically and emotionally with scars that ran beyond skin deep; the truth often too painful to willingly admit. When Major Ethan Kelly comes face to face with the lovely young woman who has haunted his dreams, she is running blindly from a more dangerous threat than a marred reputation, when she mistakenly enters his bedroom; she is running for her life from the man who left her brutally scarred for a lifetime.
Captain Devin Monroe has met the woman of his dreams, or so he had thought, until her gentle, blunt revelation about the past reveals an unsavory relationship with one of his fiercest war-time nemeses. Besides the fact that she and her grandmother were starving, how could she have offered herself on the altar of impropriety? Is he just supposed to believe that she has changed?
Enjoy wrapping up this series of Gray's heroic "band of brothers" as they reunite to boldly and bravely defend the honor of the women they have grown to love, while learning that " .. . the truth is a far better ally than enemy".
