Impoverished Southern belle Joelle Daughtry has a secret. By day
she has been helping her sisters in their quest to turn the
run-down family plantation into a resort hotel after the close of
the Civil War. But by night and under a male pseudonym, she has
been penning articles for the local paper in support of the
construction of a Negro school. With the Mississippi arm of the Ku
Klux Klan gaining power and prestige, Joelle knows she is playing a
dangerous game.
When childhood enemy and current investor in the Daughtry house
renovation Schuyler Beaumont takes over his assassinated father’s
candidacy for state office, Joelle finds that in order to protect
her family and her home, she and Schuyler will have to put aside
their longstanding personal conflict and develop a united public
front. The trouble is, what do you do when animosity becomes
respect--and even love--if you’re already engaged to someone
else?
