About this ebook
The time has come for the battle to decide the Raintrees' fate...
War with their archrival, the evil Ansara clan, is unavoidable. For Mercy Raintree, a war means she must assume her position as guardian of the Sanctuary––the sacred Raintree home place deep in the Smoky Mountains. But doing so threatens to disclose her most prized secret––one Mercy has kept to herself for six years.
As the solstice looms and the battle heats up, Dranir Judah Ansara gathers his forces, intending to wipe every Raintree from the face of the land. Including Mercy, whom he's claimed as his to kill. Then he comes face–to–face with her––and with her daughter, Eve. Will Mercy's closely guarded secret change not only the outcome of the battle––but also Judah's own bitter heart?

I'm a sixth generation Alabamian who writes mainstream romantic suspense for Kensington. I'm also a wife, mother and grandmother. People who know me well will tell you that my family is more important to me than anything in the world. I'm fortunate to have a cousin who is like a sister to me and am blessed with a handful of close friends, whom I refer to as my bosom buddies. I wouldn't know what to do without these great gals who give me encouragement, support, advice, love and lots of laughs. I was born in Alabama, where my parents lived on my paternal grandmother's ancestral home place, a farm that is still owned by a member of the family. My upbringing was divided between Tuscumbia & Barton, Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee. I graduated high school from Chattanooga Central and then attended college at the University of North Alabama. I married young and traveled briefly with my husband, who served in the navy in the mid-to-late sixties. After my husband decided against a military career, we settled back in our home state of Alabama and started a family. First a daughter and then a son. I was "in my element" as a stay-at-home mother and I can truthfully say that I've loved every moment of motherhood. I enjoyed my children as babies, as toddlers, grade-schoolers, teenagers and now as adults. Our children are both grown and out of college, with successful lives and good marriages. I always wanted four children and when my two kids married fabulous people, I finally got that second daughter and son. We have two young grandsons, who have brought tremendous joy into our growing-older world, and just this year, we were blessed with the birth of a beautiful granddaughter. I sold my fist book in 1989 and it was released as a July 1990 Silhouette Desire. Yankee Lover was set in my hometown of Tuscumbia, Alabama, during the annual Helen Keller Festival. Since that first sale, I've written over sixty books for Silhouette and Kensington. My first mainstream romantic suspense, After Dark, was released in December 2000 under the Zebra imprint for Kensington. In the past seventeen years, I've gone from being one of the "new kids on the block" to one of the "old pros."

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This wraps up the stories from the previous two books and changes some aspects of the world. Two opposing families have been at war for generations and now things come to a crisis and at the middle are Mercy Raintree the guardian of Sanctuary and the Dranir Judah Ansara who is leader of the opposition.Years ago they met and had a relationship, now he claims her as his prize to kill when their clans clash. Fate has a different plan.He's too much of a bully, this reads like a typical 80's romance. I didn't find the relationship believable or interesting and the conclusion was a little to pat for my tastes. I really did prefer the other books in this series.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I absolutely hate series that are written by different authors. This trilogy started out with a story by Linda Howard. Very up to par and enjoyable. You are then sucked in to buying the next two in the series even though you would never read these authors otherwise.It was a very disappointing read for me. Very. The relationship between the 'hero' and 'heroine' was very stilted and whoed no growth. The guy plainly hated her and treated her like shit for nearly all of the book. They didn't have any emotional growth to lead me to believe that in the end they suddenly are together.You'd think I would learn to just walk away from a series like this. argh
