A Rebel Heart (Daughtry House Book #1)

by Beth White

Overview

Five years after the final shot was fired in the War Between the States, Selah Daughtry can barely manage to keep herself, her two younger sisters, and their spinster cousin fed and clothed. With their family's Mississippi plantation swamped by debt and the Big House falling down around them, the only option seems to be giving up their ancestral land.

Pinkerton agent and former Union cavalryman Levi Riggins is investigating a series of robberies and sabotage linked to the impoverished Daughtry plantation. Posing as a hotel management agent for the railroad, he tells Selah he'll help her save her home, but only if it is converted into a hotel. With Selah otherwise engaged with renovations, Levi moves onto the property to "supervise" while he actually attends to his real assignment right under her nose.

Selah isn't sure she entirely trusts the handsome Yankee, but she'd do almost anything to save her home. What she never expected to encounter was his assault on her heart.

Editorial Reviews

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.
