Well aware she's not of his class—as her Cherokee friend Clay Fraser jealously reminds her—Mahala can't ignore her attraction to Jack any better than she can the clues about her father's murder and the missing gold left to her in his strongbox.

Faced with taking over his family's shipping firm, Jack must choose between his Northern convictions and his Southern family, while Devereaux tests himself and his feelings for Carolyn on the battlefields of Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canterbury House Publishing, Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019376869616,"sku":"9780988189720","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780988189720_p0.jpg?v=1763889770","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780988189720","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
