Romancing the Rogue (218 page)

September 27, 1865

To my Dearest sister Rachel,

I cannot express my joy at hearing that you and Elias are doing well! Grayson and I are doing as well as could be expected with the farm in the dishabille that it was when we arrived here in Tennessee! He and Fischer have finished replacing the barn roof just this morning. Fischer arrived home two weeks ago. He is a good-spirited young man, with a mind that absolutely astounds! He and Grayson spend many hours on the porch discussing everything from the two armies’ strategies to the advancements in medicine GAINED from the war! I never would have thought that there would be benefits to a war.

I heard from father (I’m sure you know of this!) and cannot express how thrilled I am to know that he has purchased Jessup Mills’ farm. And that he has made all the necessary restitution to Uncle for the unintentional sale of the General to Grayson and myself. The horse is a totally different beast and is an invaluable asset to our farm.

Papa mentioned something about he and Amelia coming for a visit around about Christmas time. It would be wonderful if you

and little Elias

would accompany them. It can be our first Christmas since before that dreaded war ever started.

Love Always,

Olivia Manning

About the Author

Who is Calle Jaye Brookes?

Calle Jaye is fun, playful, ironic, professional, and sophisticated. She’s super-educated in the field of fiction and would spend most of her time walking around in “Book World” (or “eBook World”).

Her favorite color is bold purple. She likes rock like Kid Rock, Shinedown, and Nickelback. Add in a bit of Anastacia and Adelle, too.

She collects rocks. Watches crime dramas. Abhors Lifetime Movies and Titanic (especially Leo…) and refuses to read or write about sparkly teen vampires.

She’s married to a cop she strongly suspects is a vampire. They’ve made a vampire child–who likes to howl like a werewolf.

They live in Indiana with their vampire relatives and their vampire dogs.
