title: For Love and Valcour
author: Daniels, Dorothy
description: In the aftermath of Civil War Virginia Hammond made a vow...
  
  She would drive the Yankee settlers from her father's plantation and restore Valcour Island to its old glory. Beautiful strong-willed, Virginia Hammond would let no man or woman stand in her way. But Elias Birch, handsome Yankee officer, once her sworn enemy and now her beloved husband ... not Bradley Culver, daring Rebel outlaw, whose dark sensuality set her blood on fire ... not her sister Nanine, who defied her by falling in love with her most bitter rival. Not even Phoebe, dark-skinned half-sister, who left Valcour for the New York stage, but might return one day to embrace the land of her heritage.
  
  Valcour Island was Virginia Hammond's legacy -- and it would rise again!
