Selah Hopewell seems to be the only woman in the Virginia colony who has
no wish to wed. True, there are too many men and far too few women in
James Towne. But Selah already has her hands full assisting her father
in the family's shop. And now she is in charge of an incoming ship of
tobacco brides who must be looked after as they sort through their many
suitors.
Xander Renick is perhaps the most eligible tobacco lord
in the settlement. His lands are vast, his crops are prized, and his
position as a mediator between the colonists and the powerful Powhatan
nation surrounding them makes him indispensable. But Xander is already
wedded to his business and still grieves the loss of his wife, daughter
of the Powhatan chief.
Can two fiercely independent people find
happiness and fulfillment on their own? Or will they discover that what
they've been missing in life has been right in front of them all along?
Bestselling
and award-winning author Laura Frantz takes you to the salty shores of
seventeenth-century Virginia in this exploration of pride, honor, and
the restorative power of true love.
About The Author
I like this author, and this book doesn’t disappoint, and loved the historical aspect. This is how our country began with these brave souls.
Our country at this time belonged to England, people their put up money for the settlements, and in return they earned on their investment, in the form of crops. We are with the people that are sending the crops back to the mother country, namely her tobacco. Thus we have farmers requiring brides paying with tobacco.
How we get from the beginning of this book to the end will keep you page turning. There is some sweet romance, kidnapping, and perhaps murder. We see this all pulled together, and when the story concludes I actually wanted more!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
