Publisher Description
A woman burdened by war...A doctor torn between passion and duty...A sweeping tale of love in the face of dishonor from the incomparable storyteller--Kathleen Woodiwiss.
Alaina MacGaren is forced to flee the devastation of her homeland in the guise of a young boy, only to find sanctuary in the arms of an enemy. Cole Latimer is a dashing Yankee surgeon who has served the Union faithfully, and his tender heart compels him to help a ragged, innocent "lad" in need--never suspecting the rags conceal a bewitching belle suspected of being a rebel spy.
But Alaina's masquerade does not fool Cole for long. And the strength, courage, and breathtaking sensuality of this woman whom it would be treasonous to love sets duty and desire at war within him. Yet Destiny has joined them for good or ill--and they both must follow where their hearts would lead them, if they are to build a glorious new life together out of the ashes of the old.

Ashes in the Wind
I read Kathleen Woodiwiss ages ago, and used to share her books with my mother, which was pretty funny to me at the time. Having read an article about the author recently, I decided to read one again. This one definitely stands the test of time. Kathleen Woodiwiss decided to write books for women with strong heroines and lots of passion. The fact that they are pretty historically accurate was always a plus. It took her a long time to get published ( most publishing houses being run by men at the time) but once she was accepted by Avon, she became highly successful and ushered in a new genre of romantic novels.
Great story, bad editing
Love the story but someone needs to correct the typos! When the Sheriff spits tobacco into the 'cyrass', I'm pretty sure they mean 'grass'.
Did not finish
Started out promising but waaayyyy too long and drawn out. Couldn’t finish
