Description
CAUTION: Contains adult themes of sex, violence, and profanity. It’s the waning days of the Civil War, and the battle has arrived at the gates of Fairwinds Plantation. Life as Ali knows it is about to come to an end, and Fairwinds’ pampered princess will soon be catapulted into a world she no longer recognizes. The war has taken everything from Ali . . . her family, her home, her livelihood. All that is left is the cache of gold her father buried behind the barn before he left to fight for the wrong side. Shunned by her neighbors, thanks to her father's misguided loyalty to the North, Ali plans to use that gold to make a new life for herself in California. With no regrets, she puts behind her the bitter betrayal of her fiancé, and the even worse betrayal of the Yankee captain who once saved her life. The man who holds her heart. Try as he might, Blake Granger can’t forget the feisty rebel miss he rescued from certain death. But after the terrible things he’s done under the guise of war, can she ever forgive him? Can she love him again? Or has he lost her forever? Blake’s former mistress, now wed to his brother, is determined to win him back, no matter what the cost. Ali is an unexpected complication, but Helene will not let anything . . . or anyone . . . stand in her way. Blake and Ali, two very different people from two very different worlds. Will their love be strong enough to see them through? Or will the scheming Helene tear them apart forever?
