Grayson Drake has been sent by a covert spy agency from the South to break Marx Wellbourne out of Elmira Prison at all costs.
Ordered to return Wellbourne to Richmond so the Confederate Army can pick his brain about the maps he's memorized, Gray soon discovers Marx is courting death from malaria and pneumonia. To complicate matters, the decadent, gorgeous Wellbourne is none other than the same man Grayson coveted from afar four years ago in a Charleston brothel.
Pursued by the villainous warden of the prison, Major Britton Darkmore, nothing is as it seems when intrigue, suspense and raw passion collide on the long, hard ride back to Richmond.
