The White Rose
THE TURBULENT SAGA OF A WOMAN AND A MAN AND THE CIVIL WAR THAT MADE THEM ENEMIES...AND LOVERS

THE BEAUTIFUL WHITE ACTRESS AND THE PROUD BLACK SLAVE -- WORLDS APART IN EVERY WAY BUT ONE -- THEY WERE BOTH THE SAME WOMAN...

When Lucinda Appleton was asked to put aside her career on the Washington stage and become a spy for the Union Army, she readily agreed. Her assignment? To work undercover in the elegant home of Mrs. Arabella Von Bruck -- the Lavender Countess, a sadistic and wanton woman who would resort to murder to help the Confederate cause.

Lucinda would become Sukey -- the countess's black maid, and try to discover the true identity of the Confederate agent who seemed to know every movement of the Union Army. It was a shock to discover her old friend Cole Sinclair on such intimate terms with the countess. Lucinda had worshiped Cole when she was a young girl on the Appleton plantation. But love could not stand in the way now; she knew his true identity and knew that she would have to kill him.
