Her Captain's Heart

by Lyn Cote

THE WAR HAS ENDED, BUT THEIR BATTLE HAS JUST BEGUN... Nothing is impossible--as far as idealistic schoolteacher Verity Hardy is concerned. The lovely widow is certain teaching freed slaves in a Virginia town torn apart by the Civil War will help heal bitterness and old wounds. But she's finding that the school's cynical builder, Matthew Ritter, has little reason to have faith in her--or anything else. An ex-Union captain, Matt has seen more than his share of destruction. And the threats he's getting about the school are almost enough to make him give up. But Verity's spirit and courage inspire him to fight once again for what he believes in--and to show her they can reach their dreams together....

Very Enjoyable Read!

This was a delightful book. The romance was not rushed, and felt very believable. I also enjoyed the underlying tension between Verity and Matthew and some of the townpeople. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you're looking for a quick read....I had it finished in a day!

Brilliant!!!!!!!

It is a fantastic romance! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Her Captain's Heart

Lyn Cote does an outstanding job creating a world and vivid characters in the eighteenth century. Verity and Matt struggle to build a schoolhouse in a town filled with hatred, and find love. The book is a "Christmas must-have". Merry Christmas Lyn, you wrote another keeper.
