Just Imagine
With the Civil War over, Kit Weston, a.k.a. Katherine Louise of Risen  Glory Plantation, South Carolina, travels to New York disguised as a boy to  eliminate her newly named guardian and regain control of her beloved plantation.  Unfortunately for Kit, Baron Cain proves difficult to kill, and when he  discovers her identity, Baron promptly stashes her in a New York finishing  school for young ladies.Three years later, Kit returns to Risen Glory to find that Baron has restored  the plantation to its former prosperity. Baron scarcely recognizes the hoyden he  remembers in the mature, 21-year-old Kit. The instant passion that flares  between them is unwanted by both and equally undeniable. Pushed to the edge,  Baron threatens to banish Kit from her beloved plantation, and she commits an  impulsive, nearly unforgivable act. Baron's response is equally impossible and  thrusts the pair into an intolerable situation. Wild and willful, passionate and  wary, the two lovers must somehow find a way to overcome pride and distrust  before there can be any likelihood of a loving resolution.Readers who love Phillips's highly successful contemporary romances will be just  as enthralled with this historical romance. Lush landscapes, complex characters,  a charming cast of secondary players, and a subplot that takes a look at the  effects of slavery and racist attitudes in the Old South all add up to an  excellent novel. A rewrite of an early title,Just Imagineis classic  historical romance at its best.--Lois Faye Dyer
