About A RIGHT HONORABLE SOLDIER:

Charley Smith is ready for war…

Charley Smith has sacrificed everything to fight for the Union in the US Civil War. However, despite giving up her family, marriage, and assigned sex, she has never felt more like herself. And finally, after months of training, the Second Minnesota Regiment is on its way to the front.

Henry Schaefer isn’t ashamed to admit he’s hopelessly drawn to his bunkmate. But as their regiment heads to the frontlines, he’s grappling with how to make Charley see that he wants more from her than a relationship of convenience—he wants her whole heart.

As the Second Regiment makes its way across the Kentucky Pennyroyal, Henry and Charley have to find a way to weather the harsh conditions of life in the field while keeping their relationship a secret. Close quarters, illness, and an unexpected family reunion are nothing, though, in comparison to the hell of battle as their regiment gains on the Confederate general Zollicoffer and his rebels.

Charley’s sacrificed everything to fight, but will it cost her Henry too?

About the authors:

Jane Hadley lives under seven layers of blankets staring out into the cold tundra of Minnesota winter from behind her original wavy glass 1915 windows which she stubbornly won’t replace because old things are inherently valuable. She writes historical romance to explore the imperatives of love and belonging across time, and also as an excuse to think about kissing.

Ali Lockhart is an aspiring romance writer from the Midwest who believes that love stories are for everybody. A voracious reader from the age of four onward, Ali fell in love with historical romance as an adult and decided to try writing her own - how hard could it be? (It was very hard). When she isn’t writing, Ali is reading and reviewing books for her Instagram account, @ali_learns_to_read, where she enjoys being told she’s wrong in the comments. She lives in Minneapolis with her partner and several plants she’s desperately trying to keep alive.
