Cross Roads — Carol Card Otten

Pensacola, Florida, is the only home Viola Mae Smith has ever known and she'll do anything in her power to protect her beloved woods, even if that means sabotaging the encroaching Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad. When the infuriating Yankee crew boss, Seth Rowe, trespasses on her land one too many times, Viola kidnaps him. But her captive's charming smile and admirable sense of duty win her over. And though they come from different sides of the track, Viola learns that first impressions are easily forgotten and that once her heart takes a fancy to a man, there's no turning back.
