Lauralee Johnston was an orphan of the Civil War, watching her mother die a violent death and assuming that her father had perished in the war, she had learned to take care of herself and to never trust any man. She trained as a nurse to work at a Veteran's hospital in hopes that someday she might speak with a man who knew her father and could tell her things that she never knew. Little did she know her world would be turned upside down.

Joe Dancing Cloud was a full blooded Cherokee living in the North Carolina Mountains helping his people move on after the destruction of the Civil War. He hopes to one day follow in his father's footsteps and become the proud Chief. Yet he can't help but wander when an old friend asks him for a favor.

Brought together by circumstances that rarely happen in real life Lauralee and Dancing Cloud not only have families in common but the same red haired enemy who made his way around during the civil war. I found the romance to be great at first but then I felt it moved too quickly, throwing two people who barely knew each other, and practically forgetting Lauralee's fears, thinking she can get over them in twenty-four hours. I think the book seemed to drag on and frankly wasn't worth the few dollars I put out for it.
