Beloved Enemy
Mary Schaller

HOW COULD SHE FALL IN LOVE WITH A YANKEE?Julia Chandler was a true daughter of the Confederacy, believing any man who wore Union blue was no man at all. But the magic of a costume ball transformed her, and she looked beyond his mask and saw in the eyes of Major Robert Montgomery the mirror of her very soul!Major Rob Montgomery had good reason to hate Southerners. Hadn't Rebel gunfire shattered his dreams along with his hand? And yet he yearned for even a moonlit glimpse of Miss Julia, a sheltered Virginia belle, forbidden him by war and politics, but destined for him by heart's true love!

How can I be falling in love with this man? I barely know him. I must remember he’s a Yankee!

Rob took her hand in his. Julia inhaled sharply at the touch of his warm skin, but did not pull out of his grasp.

“Ahh,” he murmured as he caressed the back of her hand. “I see that they are still cold. I will remedy the situation.”

He gently released her, then he reached inside his coat and withdrew a small package.

She quickly untied the ribbon and pulled away the paper. “Gloves!” she exclaimed, fondling the thick fleece-lined suede.

“But these are quite expensive,” she whispered. “It would be wicked of me to accept them.”

“It would be very wicked of you to reject them,” he murmured.

His seductive voice sent a delicious chill down her spine.

“True, Major,” she replied, pulling on the gloves with satisfaction. “I do try to avoid wickedness whenever possible.”

Praise for Mary Schaller writing as Tori Phillips

she’s literate, witty and tells a good story.”

hearts of strong men and women.”
