Description

A poignant Christian western...

A country torn in battle.
A Southern woman running from God.
And a Yankee captain who hopes to soon possess her heart.

Madelyn Clemmons loved her life in Atlanta. Balls, soirees, and helping her physician father to heal the ill and afflicted in their town. But the dratted War of Northern Aggression has torn her fair city--and her life--apart. Nothing will ever be the same. During the Reconstruction period, she and her father set course for San Francisco and a new life.

Raised as a rancher, Luke Guylenhall is now a captain in the Yankee army. He's so thankful the War for Southern Aggression has finally ended. Such a toll on so many. So many lives lost. All he wants is to muster out and return home to his beloved ranch. Peace and quiet. Yes, he's very much looking forward to that. No more conflict for him. He's had more than enough to last a lifetime.

Clearly knowing he's soon to die from gambling debts owed, Madelyn's father--a devout Yankee hater--insists the captain wed his daughter when the two are found in a compromising position. How will two enemies forge a bond of friendship--let alone possibly let a spark of love flare between them?
