Soldier, Warrior, Rebel . . . He makes you cry for his pain and cheer for his victories. He fills your daydreams and remains etched in your memory for all time. He's the wounded hero-the most compelling figure in romantic fiction. And he's about to wrap himself around your heart and never let go. The award-winning, best-selling authors of The Journey Home have conjured an inspired collection of stories about this beloved icon whose sould bears the scars of time and fate. In each passionate and magical tale, you'll meet an irresistible warrior who's facing the aftermath of a conflict. You'll meet, too, the courageous woman who wants to tend his wounds, help him rebuild his shattered dreams, and give him the love he needs and so richly deserves-if only he will let her. Ten romantic encounters of the extraordinary kind, each proving what the heart knows is true-that the most powerful healer . . . in any time or place . . . was, is, and always shall be love.
"Captivating . . . these tales will win your heart." Sherrilyn Kenyon, New York Times best-selling author
" . . . tender, triumphant . . . a celebration of hope." Teresa Medeiros, New York Times best-selling author.

January 17, 2005: *** Gathering the work of several authors in a common theme, this anthology deals with soldiers trying to make it home after war, whether in the distant past or the far future. Some of the stories are fairly standard ghost tales, much like campfire standards or fairy tales, others, more imaginative. Among the later entries is a story set in an established 'universe' of one of the authors' making, and readers may feel lost if they have not read books in that series. However, for the most part, the stories need no 'historical' knowledge to enjoy. ***

January 05, 2005: You'll go a long way before you'll find a better group of writers, and they've produced stories for this collection that are as powerful as any book any of them has written. The theme of each is the 'wounded hero,' a man coping with the aftermath of a war--a timely subject if there ever was one--and each story has a central romance. Otherwise, all bets are off. You'll go from fantasy worlds to distant planets in the future to WWI America. You'll meet witches and ghosts, and be thrown into alternate realities. It's a smorgasbord, with something to satisfy every palate.
