A Warm Southern Wind Margaret E Michaels

"Anna Beauchamp is a Southern aristocrat when the Civil War erupts and takes away all the luxury and dignity of her former life. She and her mother, Sara, are near destitute when a Union Calvary unit rides into Natchez, Mississippi and takes over her home. Anna is unprepared for the handsome young Captain Jess Quaid who has been wounded and needs her care to recover. She struggles against the attraction she feels for this man, knowing a relationship with him is close to treason. At every opportunity the Captain seeks her attention under the guise of friendship. However, the Captain wants more than friendship, but with none of the commitment that comes with loving a girl such as Anna.
Through a series of events, the Captain?s love turns to hate and Anna?s into desperation. Can these two star-crossed lovers find the happiness they seek in a world that has been turned upside down by a turbulent war that pits brother against brother?
