Sapphire

the long version

When New Orleans beauty Arienne Lloyd first gazed into the eyes of the stranger who snatched her from the jaws of the sea, she thought she had died and gone to heaven. At the very sight of this powerfully handsome man, she was filled with an unworldly longing. In turn, Major Joshua Langdon, a Union officer posing as a Confederate soldier, was captivated by the sapphire-eyed rebel. She was temptation he could not resist. But realizing his first duty was to a secret mission, Joshua rejected the one woman who could make him forget his loyalties. With her own allegiances to her beloved South, the bold Arienne had to fight for the heart of the man she called her enemy—even if it meant risking everything.
