A forbidden love story, set in 1850 Southern Illinois, Edward Marquand knew he was playing with fire, but he just didn't care. The heart wants what the heart wants, and for Eddie, that was Sally, his father's light-skinned slave. Sally and Edward enjoyed a passionate, lustful love affair, but each knew how dangerous their dalliance was... especially his identical twin brother, John the Civil War erupts, leaving a nation divided with Edward and Sally dealing with the complexities of defying Societal norms and for much different reasons.  And on the inevitable day they were discovered, both lives changed in an instant. Just how will John, Edward's identical twin, leverage this new knowledge against them? Edward fears that, he cannot count on his brother's discretion, and he shares Sally's fear for her life. Can Edward find a way to keep them both safe, or will he have to take even more drastic steps to protect the woman he loves?
