Plot Summary of My Enemy, My Love
"Jennifer Winston may have been born into a life of privilege, but she is no Scarlett O'Hara. Trained in the ancient African healing secrets by an old slave woman, she feels compelled to help a wounded Union soldier who stumbles onto her Southern plantation. Quite unexpectedly Jennifer finds herself attracted to the man, a man who is by all rights her enemy. Love for him during the worst war in our nation's history drives her to the limits of her strength and endurance.

Captain David Reynolds is the rebellious son of a Philadelphia newspaper owner who joins the Army of the Potomac's 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry to fight for his ideals and to escape his father's ambitions for his only son. Destiny places his life in the hands of a beautiful Southern lady and David loves her. When she refuses his proposal to marry, David is driven to risk capture by the enemy, demotion in rank, or even death to win Jennifer's love.
