Would the War of 1812 leave her ruined… or redeemed?

Karolina Runes has spent her life fighting for more than society allows a woman. Headstrong, brilliant, and determined to become a nurse, she defies her powerful father’s expectations at every turn. When he threatens to disinherit her unless she marries by thirty, Karolina chooses defiance over surrender.

Sent to the chaotic military hospital near Lake Erie during the height of the War of 1812, she expects only blood, death, and duty. Instead, she meets Major Alexander Steele — a battle-hardened officer as stubborn and proud as she is.

As cannon fire shakes the ground and her father’s ultimatum hangs over her head, Karolina must decide what she is truly willing to sacrifice: her hard-won independence… or her heart.

In a time when women were expected to be silent, obedient, and married, Karolina Runes refuses to choose between love and freedom. But in war, some choices are made for you.

A sweeping historical romance of defiance, duty, and dangerous attraction set against the fiery backdrop of the War of 1812.

Perfect for readers who love strong-willed heroines, slow-burn romance, and rich historical detail.
