Perchance to Dream

by Maura Seger

A timeless passion. Imagine a world in which the South has emerged victorious from the fiery strife of the Civil War. And there is not one nation, but two, bitterly divided, but inexorably drawn together. Imagine a strong-willed beauty who dares to defy Southern propriety. Susannah Fitzgerald, codename "Butterfly," leads a perilous double life as an agent for the Confederacy's most powerful leader. Imagine the one man who sees through her pretense. Rand Cabot, whose golden glance melts Susannah's heart, and whose covert loyalty to the North puts their passionate love to the ultimate test.

About the author

Maura Seger was born in 1951. She and her husband, Michael, met while they were both working for the same company. They married after a whirlwind courtship that might have been taken directly from romance novel. She credits her husband's patient support and good humor for helping her fulfill the lifelong dream of being a writer.

Published since 1982, Maura Seger is a prolific novelist, who also wrote under many pseudonyms over time: Maeve Fitzgerald, Anne MacNeill, Jenny Bates, Sara Jennings, Laurel Winslow, Laura Michaels, Laura Hastings, and Josie Litton. She used different pennames to re-invent herself.

She is happily at work on a new novel, because she finds that writing each romance is and adventure filled with fascinating people who never fail to surprise her. When she isn't writing, she keeps busy homeschooling her two children and thinking of new stories. She lives in New England, USA, with her husband, children and menagerie... mostly.

[Ruby · Rating 4 out of 5]

i would have given this five stars except the main couple was a bit on the dull side. but otherwise, this was a great read. i loved the alternate history and it was presented in a realistic fashion that shows what might have been if the Civil War had ended differently.
