But what will she do when he returns home to a wife he didn't marry?n n nn nElla Whitaker rescues a newborn from the dying arms of a woman of ill repute and at long last she has someone to love. In need of a wet nurse, she arrives at Belmont Plantation just as Federal soldiers demand to speak to the owner. Thinking quickly, Ella masquerades as a Yankee officer's widow in order to have a roof over her head and a home for the child. But now she must work even harder to hide her Scottish immigrant roots and play the part of a refined Southern lady or risk losing her only hope to keep her new son.n n nn nUnion Major Westley Remington has dedicated his life to serving his country. The Civil War divided his family, tore his thoughts of glory, and left him with a wound that may never heal. Westley returns home to settle his father's estate at Belmont Plantation, only to find his house is being run by a fiery and independent woman-one many believe to be his wife. Now he is faced with a conflict he's never been trained to fight, and one she has yet to conquer.n
