520    "Robert came to Galveston to fulfill his promise to a 
       dying man and look after his widow. He didn't expect to 
       find love in the unlikeliest of places.Robert Truax, 
       former Second Lieutenant and Confederate officer in the 
       Civil War, made a promise to his comrade Phillip Markham. 
       If anything happened to Phillip, Robert would look after 
       his beloved wife, Miranda. She was his life, his world, 
       his everything.After the war, Robert is left to pick up 
       the pieces and fulfill his pact. When he arrives at 
       Miranda's home in Galveston, Texas, things are worse than 
       he imagined. Phillip's name has been dragged through the 
       mud, everyone in town believes him to be a traitor, and 
       his widow is treated as an outcast. Even more disturbing 
       is her emotional well-being. Miranda seems hopeless, lost,
       and so very alone. Robert had thought his duty would be 
       simple. He would help Miranda as quickly as possible in 
       order to honor a promise. But the moment Robert laid eyes 
       on her, his plans changed. He's mesmerized by her beauty 
       and yearns to help her in any way he can.He makes it his 
       duty to protect Miranda, turn her reputation around, and 
       to find some way to help her smile again. But it doesn't 
       prove to be an easy task Robert knows something about 
       Phillip that could shake Miranda to the core and alter her
       view of the man she thought she knew so well. "--
