A Yankee's Embrace

By Ann Lory

Hannah Dawson never expected to be attacked by Yankee deserters where she lives in the Tennessee Smokey Mountains...but she never imagined she’d be forced to marry the Yankee officer that saves her either.

When Lieutenant Lane Peterson, of the Union Army rescues a Tennessee belle and is injured in the process he is surprised when Hannah takes him in and nurses him back to health. Unable to keep his hands from exploring her tempting body, Lane finds himself in a compromising position and before he knows it he is standing as a reluctant groom for a shot gun wedding. As soon as his wounds heal, Lane plans to head north, find the first Union Army camp he comes to and get his marriage to the Southerner annulled. But Mother Nature and fate have plans of their own. Snowed in for the winter, Lane and Hannah find a passion that will not be denied North and South of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Ann Lory

Ann Lory has been a fan of romance since she started reading her first romance novel at 13. She says the reason she has her true love today is because she wouldn't settle for anything less than what she found in all those pages...Okay, okay, okay...maybe he doesn't know how to ride a horse, or shoot a bow and arrow, doesn't crash through windows to get me out before the bomb goes off, and he doesn't have fangs, but in his heart I know he'd really want to do all those things for me...and he has been known to bite on occassion.I do love reading and writing romantic/sensual tales. Losing myself in characters I've created who sometimes argue with me about which way we're going to take the story and I find in the end that their way was best all along.A little bit more about me...I am a Missouri native. I love this state and I'm a BIG college football fan. Love my Missouri Tigers and you'll find me at pretty much every home game rooting them on. Yes, I'm the one in all black and gold, with beads and a hat and just bleeding the color all over. You know, the one in the camera going, "Woooo, we're number 1!" Okay, so maybe there's 60 thousand other people doing that too...but if you look really hard I'm the little dot right....there!I've been married to the same wonderful man for fourteen years. We have a son who is the spitting image of his father, and a daughter who is my "mini-me".Besides my love for reading and writing, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching movies, and cycling on one of the local trails or out on the road with the big boys doing charity rides.Thanks so much for stopping by!Ann
