In 1775 Montreal, the first rumblings of the American Revolution reach Arissa Conway, a skilled herbalist carrying on the tradition of her physical father. But it is not until a mysterious, handsome stranger arrives at the family tavern carrying her brother, wounded in a skirmish for the American cause, that Arissa is drawn--body, heart, and soul--into the conflict.

Review
The year is 1775 and Phillip Monroe is a spy for the Continental Army. A mission has brought him to Montreal and his friend Stephen Conway provides the perfect cover for him. Phillip secures a job working for Stephen's sister at the Conways' inn, the Chateau Royale. War is on the minds of everyone and Phillip's job is more dangerous than most. He knows better than to get involved in a personal relationship, but when he meets Arissa Conway he learns all is fair in war... and love. Arissa oversees the running of the Chateau Royale and carries on her father's medical practice. Phillip is an interesting and intriguing man but she cannot begin to guess the secrets he keeps. She knows he is a widower and the father of a young boy, but Phillip's tragic past is locked away inside a heart that hasn't yet learned to let go. As for Arissa, she is content with her life-until she meets a man who makes her long for something more. Phillip and Arissa seem to step from the pages of history in this stunning love story. Linda Windsor has done a remarkable job of bringing her characters to life in a richly textured novel of love and war. Canada provides a beautiful and not often seen backdrop for Ms. Windsor's story. Second in the Canadian Cousins Series, Winter Rose is a memorable read. Readers will be anxiously awaiting the third book in the series, Border Rose, due out in August 98.Linda Windsor's writing sparkles! A passionate story of love and war! A definite keeper! Readers will be charmed by Ms. Windsor's characters! Readers won't want to miss the Canadian Cousins Series! Winter Rose will warm your heart! Linda Windsor is one of the finest authors in the genre! An emotionally compelling, historically accurate novel!Kristina Wright -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times

More About the Author
Linda Windsor is the author of twenty-nine contemporary and historical novels. Her first sixteen were secular historical romance for Zebra/Kensington Publishing, NY as Linda Windsor and Linda Covington. In 1999, she switched to the inspirational market, once she was assured that Christian characters were not only flawed, but did indeed have hormones. Her late husband used to tease that there was a little of Linda in each of her heroines. Windsor contends he must have been referring to her sense of humor, resourcefulness and stubborness. NOT the figure.
Her inspirational historicals have placed in the secular historical category of some RWA contests and Affaire De Coeur polls. Both her inpirational historicals and romantic comedies, dashed with suspense, have won a few National Reader's Choice Awards, Aspen Golds, Barclay Golds, and numerous other RWA contests as well as the CBA Christy Award for the Irish Celtic RIONA, #2 of the Fires of Gleannmara series.
Windsor resides in a "painfully" restored (as in never do that again!) historic home on the Eastern Shore of MD. She still enjoys singing and playing music (keyboard and guitar) after a ten year stint in an 80's professional band. Today she plays the organ in her church and frequently does special music with guitar at church and for various charities.
Then there are home improvements. She can paper, paint, refinish furniture, and renovate, but... Let's suffice it to say, this Red Hat Lady and AARP member doesn't enjoy them as much as she used to.
Windsor is currently contracted for a three book historical trilogy titled Brides of Alba. HEALER, book one, will hit the shelves this June.
