Riverrun by Felicia Andrews, a historical romance novel, was published in 1979 by Jove Books.

Elaine Gignilliat was the illustrator and I posed for her elegant book covers often.

Cassandra Bowsmith is a "Yankee beauty" who once gave her heart to the master of a grand plantation that saved her life.

After being forced from Riverrun by a former lover set on revenge, Cassandra returns alone to the war-torn South.

She faces a hostile world of harsh passions and violent men trying to tear her down as she fights for her future vision of the land.
