"Janice Daugharty is a natural-born writer." - Pat Conroy
She held him prisoner. He set her free.
A moonshiner's downtrodden wife. A federal agent in search of illegal stills. A love neither expected. A situation about to explode.
When her cruel husband, Hamp, kidnaps Mac, an FBI agent working undercover as a whiskey revenuer, Merdie Lee is given the job of caring for him. Against all common sense, Mac and Merdie Lee, a midwife and aspiring country-western singer, fall in love. Mac becomes determined to rescue her from her dangerous, abusive situation. Tensions boil out of control after a blackmailing sheriff pushes Hamp over the edge.
No one may come out of the pine woods of South Georgia alive.
"Filled with tension and drama."--Publishers Weekly
"Nothing is as it first appears in this odd but engaging love story."--Library Journal
"Sensuous, swift, full of sparkling twists, [Daugharty's] is a voice so rich that a single page can be thrilling."--The New York Times Book Review
