"She had to believe him an enemy until he could prove himself a friend."
Hiding behind the shadows of obscurity, Clay Gentry is on a dangerous mission for his country, going undercover to deliver much needed funds to the Texans in their fight for independence from Mexico. His efforts have already been seriously thwarted, so he decides to capitalize on a family secret in order to prove himself trustworthy to his superiors; he just didn't plan on being shot and delivered to Ellis Valmont's shoreline in a stolen pirogue.
Ellis Valmont doesn't know what to think about the handsome soldier in her family's barn who is on the verge of death after surviving two gunshot wounds and a serious blow to his head. Fortunately, Ellis and her mother are healers and have the capability to treat the anonymous man while they try to determine if he is friend or foe. During his fevers, he says all kinds of things in different languages that make little to no sense. . . . . unless they do.
There's much to love about Ellis and Clay, for their journey will require great faith in the words spoken so long ago by another mighty warrior; "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust".
