Siege of Azalea Plantation (Azalea Plantation Series Book 1)

Siege of Azalea Plantation (Book 1: Azalea Plantation Series) Civil War Historical Romance.

The Civil War stole her life and her new husband, but she vowed to keep his memory and dream alive and restore Azalea Plantation.

Widow Alexis Bella Seaborne led a sheltered life in the arms of massive oaks at Azalea Plantation with her new husband Luke Wyatt until the Civil War forced her to forget about the elegant dress of a lady and embrace survival when a Yankee officer took control of her home.

Lieutenant Reese Armstrong sieges her home for use as a hospital for his wounded soldiers and encampment grounds during the forty-seven day standoff for control of the Mississippi River before the surrender of Vicksburg.

Reese never thought heâ€™d fall for a Southern belle, but he canâ€™t deny the attraction he feels each time Alexisâ€™s haunted blue eyes show passion for the home she loves and her beloved South. He canâ€™t help but envy the love and regard she held for her husband and longs for love like it.

Alexis never thought she could love again when her husband died in the war. How could she fall for a Yankee when Union soldiers killed him? Left with nothing but a war-ravaged rundown plantation after the invasion of an ocean of blue, can she find trust and faith to move on? As movement flutters in her stomach, can she let go of the past to find a future for her and her unborn child?

Bill Dixon fights in the trenches as a Confederate solider who is a cousin to Reese. He longs for the war to end so he can return to Mary and marry her, but receives a â€˜Dear Johnâ€™ letter from her while fighting the hardest battle of his life, leaving him with little hope. He often wonders about the plantation on the bluff as he gazes at it from the trenches. After a horrible fight, he ends up hospitalized and meets a young widow from Vicksburg. Can she help him heal and get over Mary? What happens when Mary shows up looking for him, and wedding arrangements are in the making?

Just when Lexie and Reese grow close, The Battle of Vicksburg ends, and heâ€™s called to duty at another location. Will she ever see him again? The Union holds the keys to the war, Vicksburg and the Mississippi River, yet the war rages, and Reese has to ride to Chattanooga because the Union wants the key railroad.

Lexie dreams to restore Azalea Plantation once the war is over, but will it still be standing? Is Reese a spy or a traitor? When Mary recognizes him upon a chance meeting, will she make matters worse? There are many questions to be answered in this page-turning saga that will take you back through the Battle of Vicksburg and battles after it.

Pull up a comfy chair and transport yourself back through time as Reese and Lexie fight for their love and their dreams, Bill decides between an old love and a new one, and the Civil War rages.

Hearts yearn, war rages, and lives are disrupted when a handsome Yankee devil invades her home and her heart, making Alexis realize despite her efforts to die on the inside, heâ€™s awakened her spirit, heart, and passion she thought sheâ€™d buried for good.

Her first love was sweet, young, and innocent, and she loved him with all of her heart, yet this handsome Yankee devil invaded her home and made her blood sizzle. His touch seared her skin as well as her heart. His kisses entrapped her lips and devoured her, consuming her with a passion that told her she was still alive and had not been buried with her husband. He awoke the spirit, heart, and passion she thought she'd buried for good.

The Battle of Vicksburg. Citizens living in caves. Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, and Ohio men fighting in trenches to hold on to Vicksburg during the 47-day standoff.

Book one of a four-book serial, but may be read as a stand-alone. The second book will pick up with Reese still battling the raging Civil War. This one focused on the Battle of Vicksburg and may be read as a stand-alone, though it does end with a cliffhanger.
