In a small town on the
brink of the Civil War, Catrina finds a man making strange patterns in
her family’s sorghum crop. He’s mad with fever, naked, and strikingly
beautiful. He has no memory of who he is or what he’s done before
Catrina found him in Stone Field. But that doesn’t bother Catrina
because she doesn’t like thinking about the things she’s done before
either.
Catrina and Stonefield fall passionately, dangerously, in love. All they want is to live with each other, in harmony with the land and away from Cat’s protective brother, the new fanatical preacher, and the neighbors who are scandalized by their relationship. But Stonefield can’t escape the truth about who he is, and the conflict tearing apart the country demands that everyone take a side before the bloodbath reaches their doorstep.
Inspired by Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Stone Field is a passionate and atmospheric story of how violence and vengeance pervert the human spirit, and how hatred can be transcended by love.

My thoughts: I am in love with this cover. Apparently the "scene inside the almost-sillouette" is becoming the new trend--I saw another one revealed this week like it! But I love it. So gorgeous. The historical story sounds deeply romantic but also intense and a bit sad. I do hope this one is good!
Oh. I have never read withering heights but this sound interesting.
