Description

On a cold an wintry London night, a visitor arrives at Quintana Wade's door. Life at the Wade residence is not as it was before her mother's death, as it was before her father, a comissioned officer in His Majesty's Army, turned traitor and joined the rebel faction in America. Quintana is living on the verge of poverty, a circumstance for which she blames her father... so when Captain Draper Boone informs her that he is there to escort her "home" to Fort Pitt in the heart of the American wilderness, Quintana wages a rebellion of her own. Draper, however, is as resourceful as he is handsome, and with his own career hanging in the balance, he can't afford to take no for an answer. Sparks fly between the two adversaries, and a blazing passion is soon ignited. During a journey fraught with hardship and danger, Quintana's eyes are opened to the American colonial experience, and her heart touched by two men she vowed to hate.
