Surrender

When Michelle Beauclair, the spirited mistress of Tall Oaks plantation first lays eyes on handsome northerner Brent Sheldon, she knows it will be the love of a lifetime. But she has no illusions. They believe in different dreams, live in separate worlds -- worlds about to collide in bloody conflict... Soon, war rages across the land, dividing a country and pitting brother against brother. As a high-ranking Captain in the Union army, Brent has a duty to his country, to his men...and to the undying love fate will force him to betray... Now, across a ravaged nation, Michelle and Brent will find one another again -- each forever changed by the spoils of war. Somehow, they must find it in their hearts to forgive and forget before they dare hope to make their Heaven on Earth.
