Book Description:
She followed her heart . . . and found her destiny.

FROM THE DRAWING ROOMS The spirited daughter of a Wyoming newspaper baron, Victoria Parker has two grand passions: journalism and Captain Sam Garrett. But her gift for writing has been confined to the society page and the captain's heart belongs to another. Now, as dramatic events and sensational headlines sweep the nation, everything is about to change.

TO THE FRONT LINES A reckless combination of innocence and optimism convinces Victoria that anything is possible -- even winning Sam's heart. When he joins Teddy Roosevelt's infamous Rough Riders as they prepare to charge into battle, she follows and is inspired to report on the heroic efforts of American nurses who tend the sick and wounded. But instead of a joyous reunion with the man to whom she has surrendered body and soul, she finds chaos and heartache.

LOVE WAS WORTH FIGHTING FOR . . . As Victoria grows from novice reporter to dedicated journalist, she will find herself transformed from an idealistic girl into a proud, courageous woman -- unafraid to fight for her country, her ideals and her heart.

Fans of sheer history will find this a winning book, as well as romance lovers. Victoria is an ideal representative of the time of women beginning to become more independent, while Sam is an honorable and dignified hero, whose calm exterior conceals a seethingly passionate man.

An exciting story that begins in 1898 in Wyoming and proceeds to Texas and then Cuba during the War for Cuba's independence. Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders are featured and I learned much more than I ever learned in 8th grade history! What a fun way to learn! Merline Lovelace does a great job blending fact with fiction in this steamy romance.
