It is set in 1790s Western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh against the backdrop of the Whiskey Rebellion. Whitney Daniels prefers buckskin to lace and moccasins to proper shoes, valuing her independence over being forced into marriage. Moreover, the new federal government has sent men to shut down her family's distillery in the fictional Rapture Valley, Pennsylvania. Major Garner Townsend, a member of the renowned Boston Townsend family, leads the effort to crush the rebellion, but Whitney, a frontier lass, captures his heart.
This novel was also re-released under the title Love's Brazen Fire.
