Jena Leigh Hawk has gone by the pseudonym J. L. Rebel ever since she took up newspaper work. To her, writing the truth is more important than anything else, and she hides her femininity behind a man's name, her beauty behind spectacles and drab clothing. But when she goes to Galveston, Texas, to uncover a very personal truth--the origins of her family--her businesslike fa ade begins to crack. Colonel Clay Madison seems to see right through to her heart, to the yearning, vulnerable woman she is inside. And in his arms, Jena Leigh discovers the pure joy of being female.
