Backlist title on sale - one of the few older Goodmans I haven't read yet.
Her Defiant Heart (Marshall Brothers #1) by Jo Goodman
(previously titled Midnight Princess, published by Zebra 1989)
Quote:
When Civil War veteran and hero Christian Marshall attempts to aid a mysterious young woman escaping a New York City asylum, he is reminded that good intentions count for nothing and painful memories are best drown in a good bottle of whiskey and the arms of a whore.
Jenny Holland discovers the respite and refuge she needs at Marshall House. To remain in this sanctuary and protect her life-and-death secrets, she must make herself necessary to its master.
But serving at the will and pleasure of such a dark and dangerous man might not be enough, and her attempts to heal his wounds will expose her own.
