In the aftermath of the Civil War, Valeria Lee, a sweet and graceful cousin of General Robert E. Lee, finds herself struggling with sudden poverty, the destruction of Atlanta, and the near‐murder of her brother. The devastation forces her to develop a fierce will, a detached mask, and a bold disregard for the expectations of her highborn heritage. Yet, as the flames of war test her, Valeria discovers that one essential part of her nature has endured: the capacity to love and to be a complete woman. Her journey becomes further complicated when she encounters two men—Sam Garvey, who offers immense wealth and power, and Josiah Eaton, who threatens to awaken a neglected passion within her.
