The Last Cavalier (Silhouette Romances) [Mass Market Paperback]

Heather Graham (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Romances | Publication Date: September 12, 2006

The battle was raging, the air hot with smoke, loud with rifle fire. Then the air turned dim with an eerie mist, and for Jason Tarkenton, captain of the Confederate cavalry, the true nightmare began.

Vickie Knox was today's woman dressed like yesterday's, wearing Yankee garb to play a part. But playacting ended when a Reb stepped out of the mist and took her prisoner--for real.

They never should have met, never should have battled--never should have loved. But something had gone wrong with time itself, weaving together past and present like torn threads of a tattered tapestry. Something had gone wrong, and in mending such shredded silk, their love--and their lives--might be the final sacrifice.

More About the Author

New York Times and USA Today best selling author, Heather Graham was born somewhere in Europe and kidnapped by gypsies when she was a small child. She went on to join the Romanian circus as a trapeze artist and lion tamer. When the circus came to South Florida, she stayed, discovering that she preferred to be a shark and gator trainer.

Not really.

Heather is the child of Scottish and Irish immigrants who met and married in Chicago, and moved to South Florida, where she has spent her life. (She has, at least, been to the Russian circus in Moscow, where she wished she was one of the incredibly talented and coordinated trapeze artists.) She majored in theater arts at the University of South Florida. After a stint of several years in dinner theater, back-up vocals, and bartending, she stayed home after the birth of her third child and began to write. Her first book was with Dell, and since then, she has written over one hundred and fifty novels and novellas including category, suspense, historical romance, vampire fiction, time travel, occult, horror, and Christmas family fare.

She is pleased to have been published in approximately twenty-five languages, and has had over seventy-five million books in print. She has been honored with awards from Walden Books, B. Dalton, Georgia Romance Writers, Affaire de Coeur, Romantic Times, the Lifetime Achievement Award from RWA and more. Heather has also become the proud recipient of the Silver Bullet from Thriller Writers. Heather has had books selected for the Doubleday Book Club and the Literary Guild, and has been quoted, interviewed, or featured in such publications as The Nation, Redbook, Mystery Book Club, People and USA Today and appeared on many newscasts including Today, Entertainment Tonight and local television.

Heather loves travel and anything that has to do with the water, and is a certified scuba diver. She also loves ballroom dancing. Each year she hosts the Vampire Ball and Dinner theater at the RT convention raising money for the Pediatric Aids Society and in 2006 she hosted the first Writers for New Orleans Workshop to benefit the stricken Gulf region. She is also the founder of "The Slush Pile Players", presenting something that's almost like entertainment for various conferences and benefits. Married since high school graduation and the mother of five, her greatest love in life remains her family, but she also believes her career has been an incredible gift, and she is grateful every day to be doing something that she loves so very much for a living.

5.0 out of 5 stars have I read this before?, November 18, 2006

I think this must be a reprint? Since I like Civil War of the Americas stories, I bought this one thinking it was new. Believe I read this long long time ago. So you might want to check your keeper shelves before buying.

Jason Tarkenton is a Confederate, caught in the hell of battle. The air is so thick with gunfire that he cannot find his unit. It gets thicker and thicker, until he makes a wrong turn, a la Twilight Zone and steps into modern day and right into the middle of a Civil War reenactment.

Vickie Knox was no Scarlett O'Hara, but a Yankee lady, and her dress reflects that. So when the handsome, sexy Confederate comes riding out of the mist, she thinks he is just another reinactor. Only this Johnny Reb is playing for real. He takes her captive making her think this man has taken his role a bit too much to heart, until he gradually makes her understand he is from the past.

Excellent Time-Travel skillfully done.

this is the third copy of this book that I have, the first was loaned to a friend in Arkansas, never returned, the second was loaned to someone in Mississippi, she still has it, I looked for it at Amazon, found it, this one I will not loan. It is a great book, I enjoyed it the first time, then I became a Civil War reenactor, and enjoyed it even more, I have been a reenactor for15 years, like the book even more.

Heather Graham has quickly become my favorite author. She surprises me with every book she has written because I never see the twist coming. Yet, it has a wonderfully scripted love story!!
