The Long Road Home

Home is where the heart is….

To some of us, home is everything. Our connection to the past, a place in which to build a future, the only place to run when the world we know falls apart….

For Livie Harrington, Bliss, the grand mansion on the shore of North Carolina's Albemarle Sound, is everything. It’s a house comprised of memories, the last remaining link to her past. In a life shattered by the War Between the States, Bliss becomes Livie’s anchor, the driving force behind her desperate scramble to rebuild a lost family fortune. She’s lost her parents, her only love, and her brother is off fighting somewhere north of the Mason-Dixon. She can’t lose Bliss, too… but what’s a girl to do besides the most outlandish, most lucrative endeavor to arise from the Federal blockade?

Everything is going well for Livie when a desperate need to be home invades her busy life. A need she can’t ignore. A terrible, devastating vision.

But waiting for Livie is a houseful of trouble… her dying brother, and the man who risked everything to honor a dying friend’s last wish… the very man who broke Livie’s heart long ago, and whom she thought never to see again….

Adam Calendar took an innocent young woman and made her his secret bride. Then, after a single night of passion, he left her to fight in a war he didn't believe in. Now, he's back... a deserter from the Union Army, a man with a price on his head, hated by both Blue and Gray... and by Livie, the woman he loved and left.
