In this spellbinding sequel to "Amazons, Rebels & Spies?," Amanda Griffin, Cassie Marsh and Wade Cunningham struggle to rebuild their shattered lives as the Civil War ends and Reconstruction begins. A heartbroken widow with two young children, Amanda has agreed to marry Wade, a wealthy attorney she fears and loathes, in exchange for his offer to help her sister-in-law, who is a Confederate spy, to elude the authorities. Unaware that Wade betrayed Cassie to the Yankees, will Amanda keep her promise to marry him in an effort to insure her own survival and that of her family? Arrested by the Union Military Police as a result of Wade's betrayal and convicted of espionage and treason, will Cassie survive the long term in federal prison she'd been sentenced to serve? With his fortune made during the war and the woman he's loved and lusted after for years about to become his wife, Wade appears to have everything he's ever wanted. What will Amanda do when she discovers her childhood friend, wounded fugitive Confederate prisoner-of-war Yancey Garnet, hiding in her stable? How will her decision transform all of their lives?
