The Wicked North (Hearts Touched By Fire Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
—16 year-old Private James Sullivan, Company K, 21st Massachusetts, after a surgeon told his sergeant, “He can’t last five minutes.” Chapter Twenty-Three Tennessee, December 1862 Emma stood there, her mouth drawn. Her insides twisted and shattered after what Jack said. He had denied wanting her. Tears blurred her vision. She had given him her heart only to have him break it—again. Last time, she had hidden her pain and married Billy. Memories of that time had yet to fade–her relationship with her husband had been tarnished by his love for Caroline and hers for Jack. But now, considering Jack was a widower and she a widow, and that Nathan needed a mother, Emma thought she and Jack would marry, whether he wanted her not. But apparently, Jack didn’t share that vision. Vaguely, she heard Tilly humming to Nathan, and her pain came to a sudden halt. She had no time to wallow over the wound in her heart. Inhaling a deep, ragged breath, she rubbed her eyes and swallowed hard.
