A Perilous Proposal (Carolina Cousins Book #1)
Two years have passed since the conclusion of the Shenandoah
Sisters series, and Katie and Mayme are young women with big
dreams, running Rosewood with the help of their two uncles and
their friends Emma, Josepha, Jeremiah, and Henry. Jeremiah proposes
to Mayme, but she is hesitant to accept. She loves him but does not
want to give up her life at Rosewood. Local whites are furious at
the Daniels brothers for harboring blacks at Rosewood and treating
them like equals. The newly rising KKK kidnaps Jeremiah and plans
to hang him. Will the brothers rescue him in time? Or will Mayme
live to regret not saying yes to Jeremiah when she had the
chance?
