title: Odenkirk's Girl
author: Hubbard, Crystal
description: Scarred by his experiences as a Union POW at the Confederate hell known as Andersonville, former Union physician Langdon Clements wages his most heartfelt battle three years after War's end when he meets former Georgia belle Josephine Lillian MaQuire. Despite his ardent attraction to her, the pain of memory fuels Lang's hostility towards Jo, a woman who symbolizes all he hates. Yet he has no resistance to the effect she has on his body and soul.
  The War changed Jo's circumstances but it only strengthened her heart and spirit. Bereft of family, home, friends and money, Jo openly accepts love where she finds it—even if it comes in the person of a brooding, passionately explosive man who won't admit his love for her.
