At seventeen, Beautiful Victoria Farraday's life should have been filled with love, laughter and joy. But it was December, 1864, when Sherman's troops were carving a path of destruction through the South and Farraday Plantation, Victoria's home, was directly in their path. Alone, frightened, she burned down the plantation, rather than let the Yankees have it, and fled to her grandmothers home in Texas. Amidst the wild flowers and never-ending sky, Victoria met the handsome, wealthy ranch owner, Edward Hanover. Passion burst into a raging blaze as his fingers brushed across her silky skin. But it quickly turned to hatred and rage when she learned that he had fought for the Union. No matter how she tried to fight it, the facts tore at her heart: the man who took her to the heights of ecstasy was a Yankee—the enemy—and the only man she would ever love!

Many of her books have been published in trade paperback.Among her many awards, she is the recipient of the 1996 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. There are eight million copies of her books in print. She says: "I have always loved history, and I loved storytelling—it was only natural that I would one day put them both together. I must have lived in another life and time, because when I write, I can almost feel I was there. My favorite part of writing is the research. Whenever possible, I will go to the place I am writing about to walk the land and smell the air." https://www.facebook.com/Constanceobanyon/
