Susan Elizabeth Phillips is known now for her fast-paced, witty contemporary romances. But, back in the early '80s, when she was a young mother snatching a few hours here and there to write, her first solo novel was a post-Civil War era historical romance, published as Risen Glory. That romantic landmark is back by reader demand, revised by the author and renamed Just Imagine. The heroine, Katharine Louise Weston, better known as Kit, has dressed all her life in britches and is more at home in the stable than the parlor. She travels from the Deep South to New York City to kill Major Baron Cain, the Yankee who stole her family plantation. When Cain hires her as a stable boy, Kit is delighted. But, before she can shoot him, Cain discovers she's a woman and forces Kit to change her strategy.... It takes a while for hatred to turn to love, and vengeance to passion, but the sparks between Cain and Kit make the time fly in this sexy, romantic adventure.
Two hard-headed, passionate people . . . Two stubborn opponents with tender souls . . . Sometimes wars of the heart can only be won through the sweetest of surrenders.
The War Between the States may be over for the rest of the country, but not for Kit Weston. Disguised as a boy, she's come to New York City to kill Baron Cain, the man who stands between her and Risen Glory, the South Carolina home she loves. But unknown to Kit, the Yankee war hero is more than her bitterest enemy-he's also her guardian. And he'll be a lot harder to kill than she's figured on . . .
Believing that Kit's a boy, Cain offers the grubby rapscallion a job in his stable. But he has no idea what he's in for, and it's not long before the hero of Missionary Ridge discovers the truth. His scamp of a stable boy is a strong-willed, violet-eyed beauty who's hell-bent on driving him crazy.
