Love Rises

LOVE RISES is pure, well, not so pure, fiction based on fact. A young Confederate lieutenant and a daring, older woman break all the taboos of the South in their efforts to survive a war-shattered world. When the Civil War ends, dashing Confederate Lieutenant Charlie Irving helps Julia's husband, General Robert Toombs, flee to France to avoid Union charges for treason. For years, Charlie has lusted after Julia even though she is a married woman twenty years his senior, and the South's most celebrated beauty. Under Charlie's smoldering looks, Julia goes weak in the knees and dreams of falling with Charlie on the thick, Persian carpet in her mansion's parlor. The aftermath of war offers a world based on survival and a chance to explore their passion if the two can survive the North's continuing effort to crush the South. But Julia still loves her husband, and code-of-honor-bound Charlie has sworn to take care of Julia in the General's absence. Is General Toombs' desperate plea to Charlie to do whatever is necessary to keep his wife safe and happy, curse or blessing on what the future holds?
