About this ebook

It is 1755, and the French, accompanied by their fierce Huron comrades, are wreaking havoc along the shores of the Ohio River Valley, torching and destroying everyone and everything along their murderous path. As Colton Gray, a major in the Virginia Militia and personal scout to Colonel George Washington bravely battles the French and their Indian allies, his new wife, Sashsa, pines for the man of her dreams.
Sashsa, a former debutante in Montreal who was forced to run away from all she loved to avoid an arranged marriage, never expected to fall in love with a strong-willed soldierlet alone marry him. Haunted nightly by passionate dreams of his soul mate, Colton attempts to concentrate on the battles ahead without any idea that Sashsa has a plan of her own. Driven by her intuition that Colton is in trouble, Sashsa risks everything and heads into the battlefield with their young son to find him. When they are finally reunited, neither is prepared for the danger they will face or the choices they must make in order to protect their happinessand their hearts.
In this continuing romantic saga, a tenacious temptress and the man who loves her must stay the course in the midst of a brutal war and sacrifice everything to build a dynasty that will survive the ages of history.

Joyce Case

After many exciting careers, Joyce decided to pursue her childhood dream of writing a novel. Runaway, a historical romance, was Joyce’s first attempt to realize this dream; Stay the Course ignites the romantic saga. The tale of passion explodes with Strength and Honor. Her newest work, Hold the Line, exceeds its predecessors, delighting readers with even more romance and adventure woven creatively into the panorama of our nation's birth. Be transported to another era, a time of heroes and deep-running passion. You will find yourself longing for times of old, heart-pounding adventure, and remarkable relationships, with a greater appreciation for our country and our faith. Not all books can stir such emotion, but, the writings of Joyce Case certainly do. The hard work and passion of the author herself is evident in her headstrong heroine and the entire cast of the story she so brilliantly tells. Joyce lives with her husband of fifty years and finds her greatest enjoyment in spending time with their two daughters and five grandsons, counting her blessings daily. Her background in music, athletics, and sales/marketing have provided Joyce with a wonderful and exciting life, full of many interesting experiences and opportunities. Along the way, she’s met a host of interesting and fascinating people, many of whom have served as inspiration for the characters within the stories she pens. Join Joyce on her story of a bold, daring, tenacious heroine during a tumultuous era of the pursuit of colonial independence!
