title: Once a Rebel
author: Brown, Micki
description: It was a time of loyalty and betrayal, of danger and destruction, when the pomp and gentility of the old South disappeared forever, and plentiful plantations became bloody battlefields. And in the midst of this ungodly turmoil two step-cousins discovered a bittersweet passion that burned as fierce as any North-South skirmish.  --  Jessamy - a golden haired spitfire, she vowed vengeance on the Yankees who'd burned her family's plantation, especially the traitorous step-cousin who'd donned the hated blue uniform.
  
  Alexander - fresh from West Point, his family was Southern but his loyalties were staunchly Union. Pitted as enemies in the most divisive war of their country's history, they would be bound by a love forged in the very heart of its raging battles.
