A CORNER OF HEAVEN by Theresa Michaels

A CORNER OF HEAVEN is set in Richmond, Virginia in the fall of 1862 during the Civil War. It tells the story of Colonel Colter Saxton and Elizabeth Waring who through lies and deception were split apart and now reunited four years later. Elizabeth's husband, James, is reported missing after a battle, and Elizabeth takes her daughter Nicole to Richmond where she hopes to get a job at the Treasury Office. Imagine Colter's surprise when he spies Elizabeth in the crowd as she is making her way to see about a job. And even more startling is the fact that when he corners Elizabeth, Colter finds out he has a daughter!This is a love story that will grab your heartstrings and twist them extra tight as these two lovers fight a powerful love storm that creates havoc in their lives until they realize that this love is a "corner of heaven" for them both in a world gone crazy. Colter is a hero who is compassionate, loyal, intelligent, caring, handsome, and a consummate lover. Elizabeth is courageeous, loving and an exceptional mother.The cast of secondary characters will touch your emotions on many levels. Little Nicole is a precious little princess that will charm you. There is danger from another quarter too. Alma Waring will do anything to capture her granddaughter, even murder. Treachery abounds from many directions to keep the pages flying, and as love grows between Elizabeth and Colter they are set afire by a sensuality that cannot be denied. Wow, I had to fan myself a few times! Ms. Michaels' writes some of the best love stories going and this one set against the Civil War as a backdrop is certainly exceptional. It ends with a Gothic touch that is a spectacular climax.
