Aiden’s never been very interested in the war… until he set eyes on the beautiful and fierce Lieutenant General. He’s never seen a woman like her, and he’d do anything for a closer look.
Anything, including enlist.
In the North Kingdom of Perland, war has been battering at the borders for decades. Neighbors to the east and to the south both want to expand their own kingdoms–if they ever stopped fighting each other, Perland wouldn’t stand a chance. It’s hard to tell exactly who is winning, but the average folk are definitely the ones suffering the most losses.
Aiden doesn’t have much to do with the war. It hasn’t reached the city of Harlborough yet, which is where he’s lived all of his years on the streets. He’s been an orphan for as long as he can remember; the war can’t take much more from him, anyway.
But there are some people who can still make his life even more miserable, and he happens to owe them quite a bit of money. His efforts to avoid them are falling flat, and it won’t end well for Aiden if something doesn’t change, and quick.
At this strangely opportune time, the King’s army holds a rally in Harlborough, asking one and all to come swell the ranks..

Winter Fire by Kathy Fischer-Brown
When Ethan Caine pulled the unconscious woman from the half-frozen creek, he had no idea that his world was about to explode. Dressed in quilled doeskin of Iroquois design, she stirred up dark secrets from his past. At the same time, she was everything he desired. But she was more Indian than white, and on the run for murder. He needed to know the truth. He needed to find it within himself to trust her.
Banished by the Seneca Indians who had adopted and raised her, ostracized by the whites in the settlement, Zara Grey wanted only to be accepted. “Ethancaine” treated her with kindness and concern. It was easy to trust him. But her Indian ways disturbed him, and in her heart she would always be Seneca.
“Kathy Fischer-Brown weaves a tale of intrigue set to a backdrop of history and romance. The story moves along, keeps you interested right up to the end, and the love story between Zara and Ethan is tender and heartwarming. The author does an excellent job of weaving in the cultures clashing against each other, the unfounded prejudices of societies that don’t understand each other, while still keeping the focus on the romance. This is a touching story, the characters are vivid, the history is accurate, and the details really give the story a sense of place.”

Honor and conviction clash with loyalty and love in this epic Civil War novel that pits brother against brother. Winner of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction, Noble Cause chronicles the clash of a Confederate cavalry officer with a Union spy as they defend their beliefs, their country, and their honor.

Gallantry and chivalry are put to the test when Colonel Alexander Hunter discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he has vowed to his men he would destroy.
With its unique blend of romantic and historical fiction, Noble Cause tells a deeply personal and poignant tale that, according to one reviewer “transcends the pages to settle in the very marrow of the reader’s bones.”
Praised by both men and women, and suitable for teens, this novel captivates and enthralls by telling a classic tale of courage, sacrifice and enduring love.
Originally published as Shades of Gray, Noble Cause is the winner of multiple national literary awards.
