Embers of Anger

About the book

Ella Grace Whitford epitomized Southern charm until the war tore through her hometown. The residents had faith that their Southern boys would shield them from harm, but that faith was shattered. Now, Ella finds herself alone, with scarce resources and the responsibility of caring for her younger brother and his newfound puppy. Everything she once knew has been upended, and her beliefs are on the brink of being tested.

Colonel Jackson Ross has been tasked with maintaining law, order, and stability following the Union's occupation of New Bern, NC. His striking appearance, charisma, and military prowess make him a force to be reckoned with.

Upon learning that Ms. Whitford is residing on a sprawling plantation near town, vulnerable and unprotected, Colonel Ross knows he must find a way to ensure her safety. As hidden dangers surface, he's faced with a difficult choice: protect Ella at all costs or remain faithful to the Union. Will his decision spell disaster for them both, leading to potential ruin and even death?
