Clara, daughter of a fierce abolitionist, spends her days tending the wounded in a town torn apart by war. Each life she saves feels like a vow against the chaos around her. But when she’s forced to hide a Confederate soldier, the certainty she’s clung to begins to falter.
James has sworn his loyalty to the South, yet the weight of what he’s seen gnaws at him. He never thought mercy would come from the daughter of an enemy or that her quiet resolve could shake his convictions more than the battlefield ever did.
Their stolen moments carry more than comfort. Sharp words soften, glances hold too long, and the line between duty and desire grows thin. Still, secrets travel fast. Rumors of his disgrace spread, and when raiders close in, James must choose whether to stand for survival alone or fight for the woman who risks everything by standing with him.
She bears wounds that silence can’t hide. He bears blood he can’t forget. Together they find a love forged in danger, fragile yet fierce.
When war closes in, will Clara and James survive as enemies or endure as something more?
