Here is the book description for Hannah’s Lieutenant:

Hannah’s Handkerchief

With her blonde hair and blue eyes, Hannah Atwell knows she is pretty—and she enjoys pretty things.  She spent her life striving to be the perfect, obedient daughter of a Kansas farm family. Now she feels she is destined for something more than being a farmer’s wife living in a soddie.

At a party held at Fort Riley, Kansas, to celebrate the end of the Civil War, Hannah meets First Lieutenant Jake Burdock, who captures her heart. She impulsively offers him her handkerchief as a token of her regard. As her parents resist her involvement with the Army officer, she begins to question if always doing what she is told is to her advantage. Demands of Jake’s job and missed connections keep them apart. Only the letters they exchange keep them connected.

Hannah’s Highest Regard

Hannah stays in touch with 1st Lt. Jake Burdock through letters until they stop coming. While visiting the fort, she meets 2nd Lt. Andrew Call, aide to Fort Riley’s commander. She soon becomes intrigued by him, and he obviously intends to make her his. As Jake Burdock returns to the fort and events unfold, and Hannah makes a startling discovery. It soon become apparent some matters are not what they seem on the surface.

Will the warning from Hannah’s mother that Army officers amuse themselves with poor country girls but marry women from high society prove true? Will Hannah end up with one of the lieutenants? If so, which one?

         Hannah glanced at Jake as she slowly reached for the letter. She turned it from front to back. Jake had not written on the outside, but she felt the lump of something solid inside the paper. She slowly unfolded the packet to reveal a gold necklace. After bringing the pendant closer to her face and turning it until the winter sunlight touched it, Hannah sucked in a breath. “It’s beautiful, Jake. I love the design.”

          “I hoped you would. It’s a locket. The Bavarian jeweler helped me pick it out.”

          “Is there a photograph of you inside?”

          Jake shook his head. “I don’t have one that will fit. I didn’t have time to inscribe it, so what I wrote on the wrapping will have to do for now.”

          Hannah lifted the sheet so she could read Jake’s message:

          To Hannah, as a token of my highest regard.

          Your letters are like a beacon of light in the darkness.

                   Jacob C. Burdock

          Hannah reread the message. No title—no lieutenant this time—only Jake’s formal name.

          Hannah pressed the paper to her breast. “I’ll keep it always.”

          Other discouraging thoughts crowded Jake’s mind. Hannah Atwell had been beautiful the night of the dance. Then again, the gown she wore and the manner in which someone had styled her hair showed her off to her best advantage. If he saw her in a faded, patched dress wearing muddy boots and a stained apron, would he still find her to be as lovely? During the one dance he enjoyed with her, she had struck him as outgoing and friendly. Unlike some young women—one of them her cousin—she did not appear shy or stand-offish. However, he had not spent enough time with her to determine how much of their interaction was genuine and how much was for show, intended to impress.

          How would she react upon seeing him again? Would she be pleased? Would she consider his visit to her family’s farm an unwelcome intrusion? Jake inhaled as he considered her possible responses to meeting him again. There was only one way to find out, and he intended to make that happen this trip.
