When Lady Constance Morrow ?nds herself held against her will aboard a ship bound for the American colonies--a ship ?lled with "tobacco brides" and felons--she is quite sure that as soon as she arrives she will ?nd a reasonable man who will believe her father is an earl and send her back on the next ship to England. Instead she meets Drew O'Connor, a determined Colonial farmer who is nearly as headstrong as she is. Drew wins Constance as his bride but soon realizes he has taken on much more than he bargained for
Do You Believe in Love at First Fight?
Any ship arriving from England means good news for Virginia colony
farmers. The "tobacco brides" would be on board--eligible women
seeking a better life in America, bartered for with barrels of
tobacco from the fields.
Drew O'Connor isn't stirred by news of a ship full of brides. Still
broken-hearted from the loss of his beloved, he only wants a maid
to tend his house and care for his young sister.
What he ends up with is a wife--a feisty redhead who claims she is
Lady Constance Morrow, daughter of an Earl, brought to
America against her will. And she wants to go straight back to
England as soon as she can. She hasn't the foggiest notion how to
cook, dares to argue with her poor husband, and spends more time
working on mathematical equations than housework. What kind of a
wife is that? Drew's Christian forbearance is in for some
testing.
Headstrong and intelligent, deeply moral but incredibly enticing,
Constance turns what was supposed to be a marriage of convenience
into something most inconvenient, indeed.
