At the outbreak of the Civil War, Amanda Graham's husband dies a hero's death. Left with no source of
income, she smuggles medical supplies for Lieutenant Colonel William Jackson and the Confederacy.

Although a rogue, Wil is a man of courage and fiercely loyal to Amanda. Lieutenant Samuel Prescott, a
soldier of honor and former comrade before the war, fights for the Union. As opposing forces move into
Virginia, Sam clashes with Wil on more than the battlefield, when both men fall in love with Amanda.
Torn by grief and loyalty, Amanda struggles with the harsh reality that her way of life has been altered
forever by the growing storm.
