“Raine Cantrell is a powerhouse writer whose emotional intensity keeps you enthralled.” —RT BOOK REVIEWS

For most Texans, Reconstruction stood as a second declaration of war. Returning to his Texas farm at the end of the War Between the States, Matt Coltrane finds his land ravaged by scavengers as part of a greedy Reconstruction land grab. Turned bitter by the war, Matt attempts to avoid others, until Laine Ellis, the only woman he ever loved, is threatened. Despite the odds against him, Matt swears to protect her, as well as his land.

Born to be a Southern lady, Laine Ellis grew up in a lonely cabin on the edge of the bayou. Stubborn and courageous, she is raising her brother and sister after raiders killed her parents and destroyed her home. Laine doesn’t entertain any man’s attention, until Matt’s return. She loved him with a girl’s starry-eyed innocence and now wants him with a woman’s passion. She and Matt struggle in the face of old enemies and new challenges to bring their dreams to life as an entire country strives to put itself back together.

Reviews for The Homecoming

[bunniehopp · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a well done historically set adventure/romance. Just after the U. S. Civil War, with soldiers returning to their homes, feelings of animosity have not disappeared. Raine Cantrell puts us in the position of an injured woman with no memories of her past, but with some serious questions about the condition in which she was found. The Homecoming is enjoyable and fast paced. I am eager for the sequel.
