A Disloyal Element

Richmond, Virginia - February 9, 1864 ...

"Doing what's right isn't always easy. Sometimes there's nothing in it for you."

Branded a traitor, Annie Campbell's only goals in war-ravaged Richmond are to survive, find her missing brother, and avoid the conflict that has destroyed her family. But when a devastating letter arrives, revealing her estranged father's execution as a spy, Annie's world is turned upside down. Her father's actions may have caused the deaths of countless Union soldiers, including her brother Ben who has been missing since the Battle of Gettysburg. Determined to find her brother, Annie's plans are derailed when Matthew Cooper, a Union soldier escaped from Libby Prison and near death, collapses at her door. Now her mission becomes hiding him and saving his life, pushing her head first into a conflict she wants nothing of and becoming what the newspapers call the "disloyal element" in and around the Confederate capital.

Falling in love was not part of her plan, but neither was embedding herself with the enemy until an old friend of her father appears, a man who can provide the key to finding her brother but with it the key to secrets long hidden that can destroy her. Annie must decide if the truth is worth the personal cost. Sacrificing herself may be the only way to uncover her brother's fate and the secrets that have been buried for far too long.
