Desperate Love by D. E. Daum delves into the poignant tale of Duke and Valerie, who find themselves entwined in a tumultuous war between the North and the Confederacy. Duke, a dedicated soldier for the Confederacy, encounters Valerie in the evocative setting of Rosie's Parlour House. Both individuals have endured significant losses; Duke has tragically lost his father, mother, and younger sister to the ravages of war, while Valerie's husband perished in a skirmish a mere nine months into their marriage.

Despite these tribulations, Duke and Valerie experience an instantaneous and profound connection, leading to a love that blossoms amid adversity. The depth of their bond swiftly evolves into an unbreakable trust and unwavering friendship. Their emotional connection becomes so intense that they cannot stay apart after their first night together.


The Dugan brothers: Duke, Cody, and Cory, have hijacked the Pioneer Stage Company wagon, and the authorities have begun to search for them. Valeria, determined to ensure the safety of her loved one, embarks on a journey to find them. What will she encounter? Will she be able to locate them? What fuels her hope? Readers will discover the answers in the book.
