by Williamson, Beth
When anger and tenacity collide, sparks are inevitable. Devils on Horseback SeriesBook 4 The Civil War took more than Lee Blackwood’s arm.

As each Devil has found happiness, Lee is left alone to cope with the darkness that claws at his soul. Genevieve Blanchard has only one thing going for her: her no-good late husband’s run-down farm. That, and a fancy name no one can spell might get her a cup full of dirt in Tanger. Room, board and seamstress skills aren’t much, but it’s all she can offer any man willing to help her bring in her wheat crop. Reluctantly Lee takes on the job, the widow’s smart-mouthed daughter and his growing attraction to a woman who stubbornly refuses to see him as anything less than whole. Slowly, his bitterness begins to fade under the light of their blooming love.
