For the Love of a Woman by S. Anne Gardner

In a world where oil is supreme, passions run high and there is always the threat of civil war. It is a world where men rule like kings, but one of its masters -- Raisa Andieta -- is a woman.

Carolyn Stenbeck doesn't understand this world. She is just trying to keep her marriage together. But a storm is brewing. Civil war is in the air and passion, like the coming storm, will soon erupt.
