When a troop of Yankee soldiers invades her Louisiana plantation home, Catey Allendale must face them alone. With her parents dead and her two brothers off fighting the war, Catey orders her younger sister, Sarah, to flee. Armed with only her father's ancient musket, she confronts the men alone, hoping once they realize Allendale plantation has nothing to offer, they'll move on. But handsome, hazel-eyed Lieutenant Jess Granger knows how his sadistic commanding officer treats Confederate women. This dark-haired, delicate beauty will have no chance once Leroy Clemens arrives. If Jess claims the girl first, he might be able to protect her from the lustful whims of Clemens and the others.
Catey realizes Granger's plan is her only real hope of survival. She has no choice but to surrender herself to Jess, who surprises her with exquisite sensual delights. Jess may have captured her body, but will her Yankee lover ever truly capture her Rebel heart?
