About this ebook
Her heart longs for peace, but peace won't keep them safe.
Brielle Durand is still haunted by the massacre that killed her mother a dozen years before. Vowing to never let it happen again, she's risen to be the key defender for her people's peace-loving French settlement living in hidden caves in the Canadian Rockies. When a foreigner wanders too near to their secret home, she has no choice but to disarm and capture him. But now, what to do with this man who insists he can be trusted?
Hoping to escape past regrets, Evan MacManus ventured into the unknown, assigned to discover if the northern mountains contain an explosive mineral that might help America win the War of 1812. Despite being taken prisoner, Evan is determined to complete his mission. But when that assignment becomes at odds with his growing appreciation of the villagers and Brielle, does he follow through on his promise to his government or take a risk on where his heart is leading him? Either choice will cause harm to someone.
Brielle and Evan must reconcile the warring in their hearts to have any hope of finding peace for their peoples.

A solider on a secret mission to help end the war. A beautiful lady warrior determined to protect the people she loves. One day will change their lives forever. Misty's newest story intrigued me from the get go, and brought me on a journey filled with faith, danger, and romance. I can literally imagine this story playing out as a movie with the secret village of Laurent and the fierce lady warrior Brielle bravely defending the people she loves. Misty's writing is so good and always takes her readers on a journey with every story. I was also personally inspired by Evan and his fervent prayers in a way other novels have failed to inspire me.

Enter the area around the hidden village of Laurent at your own risk! For Evan MacManus, there should have been a sign warning him. However, since there was not, we get to know a whole new set of characters in this first book in the Brides of Laurent series. Injured, but well cared for, he remains a prisoner. Will things ever change, allowing him to continue with his commission? Brielle Durand is the leader of the guards and hunters for the village of Laurent. It is 1814, and I loved how the author took a young lady and gave her the skills and fortitude to head up this most important job of safety and survival. Trust, however, was not something easily given, especially to strangers. An ARC of this first book was received through Baker Publishing Group, Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley. These impressions and comments are my own and were in no way solicited.

I loved this book! Great lesson in trusting God to take care of circumstances that are out of your control and remembering to pray continuously. I loved the Laurent community and am eager to learn more about the people of it in the subsequent books in the series upon their release. I was fascinated by these mountain people and especially by the possibility of their cave-dwellings. The unique setting and care between the members of this community were compelling and made for an interesting story that is definitely worth picking up!
