High-spirited Genny Romayne is determined not to marry the man her father has chosen for her. Her daring pursuit of independence leads her to a man she will come to love and hate, and sets them both on a quest for truth that may cost them their lives...
Ethan Carey knows there is more to Genny than the stubborn, selfish young woman she appears to be. He has just begun to earn her trust when catastrophe strikes, but he must first conquer his own demons before he can begin to put right all that has happened between himself and Genny.
This novel journeys through one of the most perilous times in the post-Civil War South, and tells of a love between two people that - try as they might - neither can resist.
