Marcus. Iron Oath Sentinels, #1

When it's time to pay the piper.  Marcus Stone survived a Civil War prison camp, a sham military tribunal, and years of hard labor for defying a superior officer. When a mysterious woman arrives at Fort Price with a conditional pardon and a deadly mission, he's pulled from chains into a journey that could redeem him, but only if he can keep his honor intact..and the devil demands his due.  Faith Mills is no stranger to secrets.
Raised under the iron rule of Daniel Judge, she's spent her life hiding scars both visible and buried - especially the ones he carved into her soul. Sent to retrieve one of the five men Judge demands be brought to his Triple Cross Ranch, she carries the weight of every cruel lesson he ever taught her. But for the first time in her life, Faith has her own reasons for defying the man who shaped her through pain and fear..the ashes of betrayal give rise to a promise.  As a howling blizzard traps them inside a besieged fort and Judge's fanatical army closes in, Marcus and Faith must decide who they are when survival demands everything.
Together they will face a madman's holy war, a siege that tests every vow, and a love that could change everything. (80, 000-word historical romance)
