While the Music Plays

Laura Chandler once dazzled all of Washington with her beauty and poise, but with the sudden death of her husband she changed, afraid to care for anyone or anything. Now, in 1861, as the streets are alive with the rumblings of civil war, a daring Yankee has sought her out. Chase Girard has been tasked with persuading the legendary Southern charmer to spy for the Union. While Laura is deeply drawn to the Union cause, she has two brothers in the Confederate Army. Can she betray them and everyone she holds dear? And can she risk an alliance with Chase Girard, who has the power to reawaken her most dangerous longings?
