Karolina was beautiful. Named after the State she was born.
A rich heiress with fiery red hair whose heart could not be tamed.
Her father wanted her to settle down and marry, or else, he would cut her out of his will.
Its not that he didn't love her, its just that it was the only way he knew she would settle down.
All she seemed to care about was her career!
She wanted to attend the university to be trained as a nurse instead.
That was her passion.
And so, he refused her, until the war of 1812, escalated just off the coast of their picturesque estate on Lake Erie.
So he sent her to the university to shield her from the war.
But instead of protecting her, her profession landed her right in the middle of the battlefield instead.
There she fell in love with a patient she was tending to, an officer named Alex Steele.
He was wounded and left for dead, but she nursed him back to health.
After he recovered, he seemed even more determined to get himself killed by fighting in the next battle with the remainder of the army under his command.
Karolina was determined to give him a reason to live, instead of die.
So she propositioned him.
Would Karolina save the man she loves by convincing him to marry her, if only long enough to save her inheritance, or would the Battle of 1812 see Karolina in ruins?
