If one little thing had not happened in the life of these two brothers, maybe their life would have turned out differently. Its sad, really, the things that could have been. I know that we will never know now what could have been then if things would have happened slightly different for two young men and their beloved fishing hole.




A King and Two Queens


Book Description

MacCallan couldn't believe how quickly the Johnnies reacted to the alarm, and what seemed like a thunderhead of lead sought out the attackers. He was almost knocked off of his feet as something ripped into his left upper arm, but he managed to keep focused on the mission as the little steamer pursued its attack on the moored ram. Paul MacCallan is at relatively loose ends after he is wounded during an important naval battle in 1864. With a hole in his arm and no current assignment, he is left in the capable hands of a nineteenth-century anomaly: a female veterinarian working to heal injured soldiers. Gilmuth is more than a capable surgeon. She is smart, obstinate, and full of enough moxie for the both of them. But even as Paul grows closer to Gilmuth he cannot forget the love he left in Scotland. Caitlyn remains back home, waiting to be reunited with the man she loves and spend the rest of her life with him. With two beautiful, clever women in his heart, who will Paul ultimately choose? Will he find a way to love both women equally? Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, A King and Two Queens tells the story of a man torn between two loves, two countries, and two ways of thinking. Join author Roger McIntyre for a tale of romance, warfare, and the eternal struggle for personal fulfillment.
