"An orange rose is for the spark of romance and the fire of love; it is the kindling of each dawn and the glowing ember of sunset.”

Flames from Within
Shirley Kiger Connolly

Blurb:

The year is 1864 in the midst of upheaval and devastation on a land at one time glorious to look upon. The place is Vicksburg, Mississippi when war brings bitterness and causes it to run deep for a proud, but young and enchanting Southern woman whose name is Amethyst Rose.

Amethyst Rose (Aimée) is about to wed the grandson of an English Baron, promising her continued years of ease and comfort. But when the feared battles find their way to her beloved home her plans suddenly change. Hours before taking her arranged wedding vows, Aimée discovers her betrothed is strangely missing-in-action. She soon finds herself occupying space in a filthy underground cave, hiding from the aggressive assaults of the hated Union Army. When her fleeing family prepares to join her, a Yankee-induced fire destroys not only them and her home, and now this devastated Vicksburg darling must decide whether life is even worth going on. Her only choice left is to move in with her elder and controlling sister, who runs a bordello in The French Quarter of New Orleans. But if she goes there, she knows it will destroy her personal respect and tarnish her family name. Does she care anymore?

With Aimée's bitter hatred towards all men dressed in the Yankee blue plunged into high gear, nothing seems to matter. Nothing, that is, until, on a riverboat, she finds herself captivated by the presence of not one, but two Union officers and a deceptive Frenchman determined to steal her heart...or perhaps her soul.
