She's sold as an indentured servant to ship builder Gage Thornton, a widower with a two-year-old son, a man whose wife died under mysterious circumstances. Some call Gage a murderer, but Shemaine finds him to be a generous master, a caring father . . . and the one man who arouses her desires. Soon after they acknowledge the impossibility of living chastely under the same roof, they declare their love and marry. But the unexpected arrival of their families from England, coupled with a close attempt on Shemaine's life, complicates their deepening love and forces them to confront an adversary from Shemaine's past. fiction,historical,historical fiction,literature and fiction,romance Historical Fiction, Paperback Nova Audio Books<
