Staunch rebel Marabelle Talbot proudly supports the Confederacy. Boston aristocrat and Union Major Leander Cabot Brooks falls wounded on her doorstep, and Mara pitches into a whirlwind of emotions when her family nurses the Yankee back to health. Caught between the love of an enemy officer and duty to the rebel soldier she's promised to, Marabelle struggles to keep her family plantation intact as Confederate and Union armies determine the fate of the nation. As the war progresses, the Union officer, sent to defeat the South, proves loyal and true to Marabelle. Despite his hatred of the rebels who are trying to destroy his country, Lee Brooks is helpless to prevent the capture of his heart by the beautiful and fiesty Marabelle. Can a rebel lady and a Yankee officer overcome their hatred for each other's causes and unite in love as the war-torn country tries to reconstruct itself? Will they even survive the war? Only two very strong and determined lovers can surmount the obstacles keeping them apart.
