First in My Heart: A George Washington American Revolution Romance

He was prepared for war, not for her.Before he's the legend on the dollar bill, George Washington is just a tall, stubborn young officer with muddy boots, too much responsibility, and no idea what to do with his own heart. He knows how to read a battlefield, how to hold a line, how to take orders and give them. Feelings? Those were never in the manual.Martha Dandridge Custis has already buried one husband and one version of herself. Practical and warm, with a quiet wit that slips out when people least expect it, she's done disappearing into a man's shadow-no matter how handsome his uniform or how promising his prospects.Then the war comes.Suddenly, the man the colonies are turning into a symbol is also the man she has to share a table, a tent, and a life with. Together, they will have to decide: Can the man who is being turned into a monument learn how to be a husband in the stolen hours between battles-and can Martha trust that the man the world is claiming as its "Father" will still fight to be first in her heart?
