As a girl, green-eyed Michaela Brennan had been caught in the crossfire of a vicious bank robbery up North. Seeking a new life for his family, her father took her south to post-Civil War Atlanta. Here, their newfound prosperity let Michaela grow into a confident, carefree beauty - …until she met Samuel Lawrence. There was something about the tall, young plantation owner, something even more troubling than his unyielding pursuit of her and the way he dared her to respond to his arms, his lips, his passion. For after Michaela became his bride, she discovered both ecstasy and a bitter revelation. Samuel Lawrence had accepted money from Michaela's father in order to marry her! Racked by doubt, soon Michaela would come face to face with even more dangerous truths: That Samuel had once ridden as a Confederate bank robber in the North, and that he was the only man she could ever love.
