Books like Love Me Tonight by Nan Ryan
After the Civil War, Helen Burke Courtney has all but lost her life: her husband is gone, her savings are gone, and her modest Alabama farm is barely holding together against rival creditors. With only a broken plow horse, her cat, and an unbreakable pride, Helen resolves to fight for what remains. Captain Kurt Northway, a weary Union officer raised and utterly devoted to his young son, rides into town seeking work on the surface but hoping to find a purpose deeper than the plow. Helen, desperate for a man’s help to plant her crops, must decide whether she can trust the handsome Yankee who bears the scars of war. As the town condemns her for taking an enemy, the two find respect, a quiet affection, and a passion that could either betray them both or be the healing they need.
