But he can't shake the bitter sting of guilt left by the death of the man who had saved his life. Unable to stop his younger brother from enlisting in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, Aaron decides to join him, determined to protect him in the fight against the Spanish in Cuba. For reasons all her own, Gail Summers is also volunteering as an army nurse to serve at the side of Dr. David Burns, a man to whom she is greatly indebted. But drawn as she is to the kindly physician, she hadn' counted on stumbling into Aaron Winslow.
