The wild American wilderness is no place for an elegant
English governess
On the run from a brute of an aristocratic employer, Eleanor Morgan
escapes from England to America, the land of the free, for the
opportunity to serve an upstanding Charles Town family. But freedom
is hard to come by as an indentured servant, and downright
impossible when she’s forced to agree to an even harsher
contract—marriage to a man she’s never met.
Backwoodsman Samuel Heath doesn’t care what others think of him—but
his young daughter’s upbringing matters very much. The life of a
trapper in the Carolina backcountry is no life for a small girl,
but neither is abandoning his child to another family. He decides
it’s time to marry again, but that proves to be an impossible task.
Who wants to wed a murderer?
Both Samuel and Eleanor are survivors, facing down the threat of
war, betrayal, and divided loyalties that could cost them
everything, but this time they must face their biggest challenge
ever . . .Love.
