      Synopsis

      Captain Sinclair McGregor has spent two years in the frozen hell of a Yankee prison camp. His life, as he once knew it, has been destroyed by the War. Returning home to Savannah to find his fiancée married to his worst enemy and his ancestral home sold for back taxes to the same man, he knows a despair darker than the depths of the Abyss. His life in shambles, his heart broken, with no money or possessions to his name But no one counted on the love of four uniquely different women who band together to save Sinclair McGregor's life and soul. Will they be successful--or will the ugly hatred of a bitter old woman condemn him to a final hell?

      Of Ages Past - Trace Edward Zaber

      The promise of righteous heroes and wicked villains, in-depth research and a flair for period speech, nail-biting suspense and chills galore, even steamy love scenes, mean virtually nothing to me after countless disappointments. It is rare, then, when a book lives up to expectations. In the Wind's Eye is one of those rare books!

      exciting Reconstruction Era romanceby harstan

      March 18, 2001: With the war finally over, the Union Army releases prisoner Confederate soldier Captain Rory Sinclair McGregor. After two years in a hostile prison with substandard conditions, Sinclair feels his nightmare is over. He returns to his hometown Savannah only to realize that his real nightmare has just begun.

      Sinclair?s fiancee Ivonne Bouchard married his bitterest enemy Edward Delacroix who also bought the family mansion WindLass during a back tax sale. His grandmother feels Sinclair shames the family heritage and plots his death because he is unable to regain the mansion. Still scarred from his incarceration, Sinclair feels deepening depression with no hope for the present let alone the future.

      IN THE WIND?S EYE is an exciting Reconstruction Era romance that may seem to follow the rules of the sub-genre, but actually is extremely complex and filled with twists. The story line is exciting, yet very dark as it brings to life the aftermath of the Civil War on the losers. Anyone who takes pleasure from a story about that period will find the deep layers of Charlotte Boyett-Compro?s skills turn her plot into a triumphant complex historical fiction.
