Winner of the John Esten Cook Award for Southern Fiction. Winner of numerous national awards and an Amazon bestselling author, Jessica James has received critical acclaim for this page-turning story of honor, self-sacrifice, and enduring love. Praised by both historians and romance readers since its original release in 2008, the award-winning historical fiction novel Shades of Gray now has a new ending in this special 150th Anniversary of the Civil War Commemorative Edition entitled Noble Cause. James uniquely blends elements of romantic and historical fiction in this deeply personal and poignant tale that, according to one reviewer, "transcends the pages to settle in the very marrow of the reader's bones." This is the tale of Colonel Alexander Hunter, a dauntless and daring Confederate cavalry officer, who, with his band of intrepid outcasts, becomes a legend in the rolling hills of northern Virginia. Inspired by love of country and guided by a sense of duty and honor, Hunter must make a desperate choice when he discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he vowed to his men he would destroy. Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the paths of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever. Destined for an honored place among the classics of the America Civil War, Noble Cause is a book to read, and keep, and remember forever. 2011 John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction 2011 Next Generation Indie Award for Regional Fiction 2011 Finalist in Next Generation Indie Award contest in Romance and Historical Fiction catgories

Above and Beyond is the winner of the 2014 John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction and a Finalist in the Next Generation Indie Award contest and the USA Best Book Award contest. “Jessica James has a gift for reaching into the past and bringing it back to life.” – Tiffany Kohler “Another great story with lots of imagery, intrigue, and intricate details. The words are like magic.” – Julia Miller Another timeless Civil War novel about commitment, honor and faith from historical romance author Jessica James, the first two-time winner of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction. Confederate Civil War spy Sarah Irene Duvall lives alone and friendless in her homeland as she pretends to support the Union cause while secretly providing information to a rebel officer. Cavalry commander Douglas Benton would much rather flirt with a woman than work with one. When he finds out that the virtuous and devout Sarah Duvall is the spy who has been providing him with valuable information, he fervently resists the arrangement. But Benton soon discovers there is more to being a good soldier than leading a cavalry charge. When Sarah makes a selfless sacrifice, he learns the most important lessons of all: That faith is more important than glory—and love more important than life.

Above and Beyond: A Novel of Love and Redemption during the Civil War (Military Heroes Through History)

No name in the annals of the Civil War conjures up a more romantic and awe-inspiring image than that of Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby of Virginia. The epitome of the Southern cavalier, Colonel Mosby was a charismatic officer whose small band of partisans outwitted and outfought the Union army on the fields and farmlands of northern Virginia. So great was the panic inspired by this one officer’s military ingenuity, so prominent was the threat he created to the Union forces, that he came to be known in the north as more of a myth than a man. Award-winning historical fiction and Southern romance author Jessica James penned a unique look at this iconic figure as a way to share this real-life soldier's story with her fiction fans. John Mosby was the model for her fictional character Colonel Alexander Hunter in her novel NOBLE CAUSE (originally called SHADES OF GRAY). Rather than a dry biography of the Confederate hero, this book takes readers on a journey with a ragtag group of Rebels who threw aside the established rules of warfare, effectively using fear as their weapon of choice and surprise as their watchword. Read about this forgotten American Hero in the first of a series of books that look back on those who played a role in shaping our nation.

Many books have been written about prominent historical figures and their accomplishments—but the personal side is often neglected. Though they lived in a time that required exceptional courage and perseverance, they were, in the end, human. In this short book you will find a few of the heartwarming stories of everlasting love that award-winning historical fiction author Jessica James stumbled upon while doing research for her first Civil War novel Shades of Gray. No matter how well you think you know some of our nation’s greatest warriors, you may be surprised to read the sweet murmurings of love found within. One can only imagine the heartache and pain caused by the separation of war, but the heartfelt sentiment conveyed in the written word must have brought some consolation. Surely there is something in all of us that longs to return to a time when love endured as long as the spirit of life remained, and when even the bravest among us was not afraid to speak from the heart.
