After seventeen years of hiding from life and himself, Austin Gray is returning to reclaim what is rightfully his--DeLanie Winters. With her husband dead and the rumors finally doused, Delanie's secrets and tainted reputation can be put to rest. The last thing she needs is Austin returning with his wild ideas of taking up from where they left off. Especially since what she's been hiding is now sixteen years old. With such a bad track record, DeLanie swore she'd never need or want another man, but if Austin doesn't keep his eyes...and his hands to himself, they're about to relive the past all over again.

Cass Andre creates a hero to die for! While her secret heart's desire might be Austin Gray, he's the last thing DeLanie Winters needs in her life. Now a widower, DeLanie finds it hard to keep Austin at arms length and continue to keep the secret she's hidden for sixteen years. Andre's historical voice flows neatly, transporting the reader back to 1861 without the bumpy ride of many other books of the genre.

Andre's dialogue follows much the same lines as the rest of her novel: you don't think to yourself, "What wonderful dialogue," because you're too busy listening.

Melinda Rucker Haynes, Winner of the Emerald City Keeper Award
Winters' Desire is a compelling, must-read novel of betrayal and redemption that you cannot put down. Cass Andre deftly portrays the consequences of a night of passion through characters of staggering emotional depth.
