Louisiana, 1863. Francois Fontaine hasn’t thought much about the combat raging in the East. Excused from the conflict to run the family plantation, he’s comfortable and content. But when the woman he loves marries his brother, he runs from his pain into the Confederate Army… and winds up seriously injured at the Battle of Mine Run. Virginia. Dr. Ada Lorrance is furious the Union forces don’t allow female physicians. Driven to enlist as a nurse if she wants to join the fight to liberate the slaves, she finds opportunities to treat soldiers when the surgeons are overwhelmed. And that brings her straight into contact with a loathsome rebel whose foot she saves from amputation. Falling for the mysterious caregiver who preserved his leg, Francois attempts to woo her despite her abolitionist notions. And while Ada finds herself strangely attracted to the charming slaver, she’s determined to teach him the error of his ways. While bloodshed rages around them, can these two opposites negotiate a peace that could lead to forever? The Better Angels is the fourth standalone novel in the absorbing Hearts Touched by Fire historical romance series. If you like complex stories, vivid characters, and love against all odds, then you’ll adore Gina Danna’s compelling tale.

A USAToday Bestselling author, Gina Danna was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and has spent the better part of her life reading. History has always been her love and she spent numerous hours devouring historical romance stories, always dreaming of writing one of her own. After years of writing historical academic papers to achieve her undergraduate and graduate degrees in History, and then for museum programs and exhibits, she found the time to write her own historical romantic fiction novels. Now, living in Texas, under the supervision of her three dogs, she writes amid a library of research books, with her only true break away is to spend time with her other life long dream – her Arabian horse – with him, her muse can play.
