He was the wrong man for the job in every way but one ...Grayson Rhodes, the illegitimate son of a duke, heads to America to prove his worth and earn his fortune. But post-Civil War Texas seems more like hell than a land of opportunity, especially when he finds himself working the cotton fields of no-nonsense Abbie Westland. Abbie, with her fiery determination, is wildly different from the fragile beauties Grayson knew at home ...but there is a tender yearning he can see just below her tough exterior. Abbie works her fingers to the bone day-in and day-out, and she needs the help of a few good farmhands. Though skeptical of the polished Englishman when he arrives, she soon discovers a man with a resolve to succeed that matches her own. As the long, hot days turn to heated, passionate nights, they dare to dream of a future together.

How the Women/ Widows Survived After the Civil War
This is a book about second chances. Grayson Rhodes, a ne?er-do-well from Scotland, is looking for a second chance to establish himself as a success in his own and his father?s eyes.
This takes place in 1865; the Civil War has ended and Confederate men are going home to find what is left of their homes and lives.
Widow Abbie Westland has a second chance to keep her children fed by hiring men from Scotland who will help her with the back-breaking work on her farm.
Grayson and some friends have been conned into ?finding their fortune? by being sent to cotton fields to pick cotton! A clever entrepreneur has gotten Scottish parents to pay 500 pounds to help the young men ?find their fortune.? At the same time, he has talked dirt-poor Confederate widows into paying $300 to get able-bodied men to help them pick their cash-crop ? cotton.
This is an interesting insight into the difficult life widows had after the Civil War. Without the men of their families, these women struggled to survive.
There are lots of plot twists; it is an emotional story about wrestling with great difficulties against terrible odds. It is a great history lesson, told in human terms.
I loved the book!
