What to expect
A day of reckoning for some and a dangerous one for others…
Jamaica 1804
As the last will and testimony of Sugar Plantation owner Sir Edward Albert Kildare is disclosed to an eager auduence, a loyal servant is brutally murdered and a young girl's life hangs in the balance.
With the help of a guardian angel, young Lochranza Kildare, is spirited back to England under the cover of darkness to reside with her mysterious uncle Lord Alexander Maxmillian Kildare at the palatial Cleveland Court.
As time passes, headstrong Lochranza grows in both beauty and spirit, and a marriage is sought to further protect her from those who may wish her harm. When a surprisingly compatible match is found, her wilful sense of adventure is awakened and a challenge accepted.
Now betrothed to Ethan McKinnon, a titled aristocrat and Virginian tobacco plantation owner, Lochranza sets sail for the new world to marry Ethan. But the stakes are high and there are dangerous forces at play.
Can Lochranza and Ethan outwit those who plot to ensure she does not reach Virginia?
Only time and courage will tell...
Don't miss this emotional and powerful saga about a young woman's determination to beat the odds and discover her legacy.
