Hailed by Romantic Times as "one of passion's leading ladies," bestselling and award-winning author Nan Ryan dishes up a smoldering new Civil War-era romance. A clever deception abruptly ended the young love between Mary Ellen Preble and Clay Knight. But when Captain Knight returned in the blaze of war to seize her Mississippi home, Mary Ellen was once again captivated by a passion stronger than time or loyalty.
"Vintage Nan Ryan...it smolders with sexuality. Nobody does it better!" Virginia Henley
