The first novel in USA Today Bestselling Author Beverly Jenkins' compelling new series follows a Northern woman south in the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War...
Valinda Lacey's mission in the steamy heart of New Orleans is to help the newly emancipated community survive and flourish. But soon she discovers that here, freedom can also mean danger. When thugs destroy the school she has set up and then target her, Valinda runs for her life—and straight into the arms of Captain Drake LeVeq.
As an architect from an old New Orleans family, Drake has a deeply personal interest in rebuilding the city. Raised by strong women, he recognizes Valinda's determination. And he can't stop admiring—or wanting—her. But when Valinda's father demands she return home to marry a man she doesn't love, her daring rebellion draws Drake into an irresistible intrigue.

Why I'm Excited:
I can't wait to read this. Beverly does an amazing job writing fun strong characters and fantastic witty female leads. Her male characters are amazingly strong, virile and know a good woman when they meet her. She never fails to share an amazing story and impart some great lessons about Black lives post Civil War. I have loved all the others I've read and just know this is going to be amazing. I didn't even really look up the synopsis until now, as soon as the link appeared to pre-order I did just based on her catalog.
