The Prosecution of Lt. Tabor Chandler Teri Thackston

Tabor Chandler rescues a young boy from drowning one cold Texas night in 1865, but the act won't pardon him of the crime that keeps him on the move. So many men are dead-his best friend among them-and he can never forgive himself for his part. Not even Tabor's heroic rescue can overcome Elena Lamb's angry grief over his part in the death of her brother. Her evidence: the battle of Shiloh, where Tabor ordered his men into deadly Union fire. Her prosecution of the Confederate lieutenant rests even when her heart cannot, and she wants him gone. But mysterious events conspire to keep them together. Attempted robbery and murder, sabotage and the presence of a stalking devil convince Elena that she needs this man she hates...if only for the sake of her family. Tabor's presence is a constant reminder of her brother's death. Can getting to know him change Elena's verdict and allow her to forgive him? Can he forgive himself and take hold of the love he so desperately wants?
