All is fair in love... Eleanora returns home to New Orleans as heroine of an ill-fated military invasion of Central America, angel of mercy to the wounded Americans in Nicaragua, and widow of a Spanish grandee. She is wealthy, a privileged condesa. But in the war-torn land she left behind, she was the mistress of an officer who thought her a camp follower, one who must never guess the secret she holds in her heart. Colonel Grant Farrell learned respect for tempestuous, red-haired Eleanora the hard way, by losing her to a man who valued her more. Though the lady has reason to despise him, he will follow her into the jaws of hell to taste her kiss one last time....
