Books like Rebel by Heather Graham

During the Civil War, brother turns against brother, and duty pulls Ian McKenzie in a grim direction: the arrest of the South’s most infamous spy. The spy—beautiful, deadly, and his own wife—embodies the conflict between loyalty and love. Ian’s heart yearns for another path, while the war demands another. In "Rebel," the clash of duty and passion unfolds in a riveting tale of espionage, family betrayal, and a legendary love that can either save or destroy. Set against the backdrop of the United States Civil War (1861‑1865), the novel dives into the perilous world of women spies and the deep emotional toll of divided loyalties. It is a gripping narrative that explores the cost of war on both battlefield and heart. A story where love defies the war’s harsh realities, the narrative follows Ian’s internal battle, his wife's secret life, and the powerful theme of whether one can pursue love amidst the ruthless demands of war.
