Civil War Facts
Most young men who volunteered at the start of
the war, did so because they saw it as a chance
for adventure and escape from their boring lives
working on farms and in factories. The initial
recruitment at the start of the war was for only
three months service, since the war wasn't
expected to last beyond a few months.

Erin's Rebel
Time Travel Romance
Excerpt
The sound of her name on his lips made her skin tingle. She tore the paper off the package. At the sight of
the brooch, her breath caught.
"Do you like it?" he asked anxiously. "I had it made just for you."
Eyeing him, she had a hard time finding her voice. This was Erin O'Connell's brooch, the very one that had
sent her back in time. It shone in her hands, new and unworn from time and wear.
What did this mean? She must be following Erin O'Connell's footsteps. As far as she knew, her being here
hadn't changed anything. Will was still destined to die this year.
"I didn't mean to upset you, Erin. If you don't like the brooch-"
"No." She clasped the pin against her chest as the meaning of his gift sank in. "It just means so much to
me."

His look of concern softened into a lopsided grin. "I'm happy you feel that way."
"Thank you, Will." She slipped the brooch into the pocket of her wrapper, then stood on her toes lifting
her arms to circle his neck. She kissed his cheek, inhaling his musky scent.
His mouth was on hers, hot and urgent. The softness of his moustache and chin beard tickled her lips.
She opened to him, her tongue slipping inside to taste him thoroughly. He groaned, pressing the length
of his body against her.
