Rescued from drowning by Kentucky Quakers little "Dora" was disguised as a typical Quaker child and no one knew of her first years - not even Pace Nicholls, "bad boy" son of a local slavholder. And from the day they met, whereever Pace was, so was Dora who grew to womanhood pining for his love. Pace was hellion as a boy and a rebel as a man. He freed the family slaves and left his law practice to join the Union Army. And Dora was always there ready to nurse his wounds. His had no excuse for taking her in wanton self indulgence without giving his heart, never guessing that the tables would one day turn. He never guessed that the noble and beautiful lady Alexandra could be swept forever out of his reach unless this time eh offered his heart.
