Synopsis

Janet Dailey creates a new dynasty - the Stuart and Gordon families - telling their story in a grand, sweeping novel colored by history and emotions. In this breathtaking work set against the explosive backdrop of the Civil War, a part-Cherokee man and a Union officer's daughter find themselves drawn together by a desire as wild as the hot summer wind ... and torn apart by a heritage of passion, feuds, and unbending pride.

Annotation
Two lovers--Lije Stuart, a part-Cherokee Indian with a law degree from Harvard, and Diane Parmalee, his childhood sweetheart and the daughter of a U.S. army officer--must fight to stay together as their respective families take opposite sides during the Civil War. But is their love strong enough to save them before betrayal and death can claim their hearts? Sequel to The Proud and the Free.
