In post-Civil War Mississippi, Selah Daughtry and her family struggle to make ends meet as their plantation home falls into disrepair. With no other option, Selah accepts the offer of Yankee soldier Levi Riggins, who promises to fix the house if she turns it into a hotel. While Selah is consumed with the renovation, Levi is investigating a series of crimes as an undercover Pinkerton agent. As the two spend time together, sparks ignite between them. White ("Gulf Coast Chronicles") launches a new historical series with strong characters and a vivid sense of place. The narrative flows easily, and the Reconstruction-era setting offers a fresh change from the usual period fare.
VERDICT Fascinating Southern historical fiction with a touch of romance.
