The War Between the Says not only ruined all Michael Cantrell treasured, it still left the young, previous Confederate cavalry officer without beliefs or wish, a solitary, haunted man hoping to flee his demons in the vast american frontier. Then, one planting season day along the Wind flow River, he finds himself abruptly in the thick of another life-and-death struggle - Annie Devlin's conflict. Desperate to hang on to her ranch and her life, waylaid by gunmen appointed by a robust rancher who covets her land, Annie and her young sibling, Robbie, deal with a furious, rapidly losing battle for their lives. When all seems lost, into the fray steps a cold-eyed, steel-nerved stranger - Michael Cantrell - who will save you Annie and Robbie, but is himself grievously wounded. With Annie's attention, Michael recovers not only his strength but a portion of his embittered spirit as well. Struggling with his powerful feelings for her, convinced he has nothing to give, Michael determines to stay with the Devlins only long enough to ensure their safe practices from the treachery that would demolish them. Reluctantly, Michael, who for a long time has known only loss, allies himself with a obstinate, courageous young woman who'll take his center by storm and test the limit of his honor, his mettle - and his passion. A finalist for the prestigious Orange Rose Prize, Conditions of Surrender requires the listener over a stirring trip that is also a heartfelt, psychological journey.
