Jack

 Jack is the second of three novellas that accompany the highly acclaimed Ella Wood trilogy, a Civil War historical fiction series. Jack can be read as a stand-alone, but starting with the main trilogy is recommended.

 BOOK DESCRIPTION:

For the better part of a decade, Jack has lived a double life. To all appearances, he’s the spoiled heir to one of Charleston’s wealthiest plantations. But his life would be forfeit and his family in jeopardy if anyone knew what he’d really been up to. He’d be shunned from polite society if anyone guessed his plans for Ella Wood. So he maintains his lonely façade, with no realistic hopes of marriage and only slaves to confide in.

 When war comes to Charleston, Jack enlists in the South Carolina infantry. But military service brings him into contact with a beautiful and unlikely confidante. Will his dreams for Ella Wood outlast the war? Will his new love?

 SERIES DESCRIPTION:

Lizzie, Jack, Jovie...you've grown to love them. Now come to a deeper understanding of these important characters through their own experiences. This series will fill in additional details in the Ella Wood trilogy’s main storyline. In this second installment, read the stirring account of Jack’s life and love in service to the Confederacy.
