Wanda Baker's life is never the same after she kills her abusive stepfather. With nowhere to hide, she steals a soldier's uniform. Dressed as a man, Wanda falls in with a battalion of soldiers and redefines himself as Jackson Logan. After the war, Wes finds work on the horse ranch owned by the widow of a Union soldier, Emmaline Stevens. She's the most beautiful woman Jackson has ever seen, but being a veteran of the Confederate army that killed her husband isn't the only thing keeping them apart. Emma hates that she needs the enemy's help to manage her husband's beloved ranch, but there are few qualified men after the war stole them from their families. She and her young son must place their trust somewhere, and Jackson is her best hope of keeping the ranch. Their differences are too hard to ignore, but love could heal a heart divided.
