We know a lot about the American Civil War.  We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories?

Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war.  It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle.  She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most.  

This is a story about the ones left home during the war.  The one's who earned no great merit or place in history.  The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans.

I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s.  

My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana.  We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family.  My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan.  He was the rest of my family's enemy.

Please keep in mind this story is based in  America during the 1860s and it was a different time.

Burning Wild by dawn_norwell
32 parts Complete Mature
"Jake couldn't stop his eyes from dropping to my body. His gaze lingered on my curves, his face thirsting for something more than the spilled coffee. The way his eyes fumed made me squirm with longing. It was all I could do not to reach out and touch his rippling bicep, to pull him closer to me. I barely knew this man, but the way his face smoldered as he stared at me made me feel sexy for the first time in my life. It ignited a desire in me and awakened a sexual goddess who had been suppressed for a long time. I wasn't a promiscuous woman, but if Jake Lucero had asked me to go home with him at that moment, I would have jumped in his car without question." ____________________________________ Catalina De la Rosa's world is upended when she falls victim to the unpredictable California wildfires. She loses everything in the raging inferno- her home, her invaluable possessions, even a bit of the person she was before the traumatic experience. When Cat meets Jake Lucero, the firefighter who risked everything to save her life, she slowly starts to find herself again. Jake is sullen and brooding, mysterious and closed off, but he stirs something in Cat that she had long ago repressed. Cat is acutely aware of the escalating chemistry forming between them, but she is hesitant to pursue her feelings for fear of losing herself again. Cat soon discovers that Jake is as wild as the fires that forever altered her life. His dark secrets and risqué past threaten to destroy everything she has built. She knows that she should keep her distance, but she can't seem to stay away. Though it is dangerous to play with fire, the smoldering connection between her and Jake keeps Cat coming back for more. Now, her life will never be the same. © Dawn Norwell ___________________________________________ *3rd place winner in the Winter Rose Awards #1 in Young Adult #1 in Starcrossed Lovers #1 in Firefightter #6 in Adult #3 in Powerful Women #3 in Love and Loss
