title: Cromwell's Captain
author: Madden, Anne Wakefield
description: She found the soldier wounded and bleeding. Cathie's generous heart went out to him. He was defenseless and without help would probably die. So she took him into her home, cleansed his wounds, gave him rest. and watched him slowly return to health. And soon she began to feel more than just compassion for her handsome patient. He was so gentle, so kind; exactly the sort of man she longed for. But there was no hope of anything between them. For Cathie's soldier was fighting for Oliver Cromwell, her Royalist family's worst enemy.
