From the battlefields of Manassas, Virginia, to the Union prison in Elmira, New York, author Shane Michaels explores the hidden world of men loving men during the American Civil War. In this erotic tale of lust, love, and sacrifice, two men find solace in each other's arms as they are caught between the splintered world of the Union and the Confederacy. When Kit Walker's leg is shattered at the Battle of Manassas, he finds himself on Doctor Wallace Sanger's operating table. Wallace saves his life - but removes his leg. As his wounds mend, the two men find more than comfort as they explore each other's hidden desires.
