In her heart, Rebecca Bradford is no longer the orphaned white daughter of a wealthy Maryland planter; she is Star Blanket, a bold young woman with no need for fancy clothes or manners, and no understanding of the 'honor' that prohibits Adam Rourke from acting upon the desire raging in his dark eyes.
 
Once a bondservant, Adam Rourke promised Rebecca's grandfather he would keep her safe until she assumed her role, and the fortune that was promised him.
 
But Rebecca wishes to return to her adopted Shawnee, unable to become the person she no longer is.
 
Granting Rebecca her freedom, guarantees Adam his fortune. But letting her go will cost him his heart.

As Charity Brown glides down the grand staircase of Maryland's finest estate, no one suspects she is an escaped prisoner of the Crown, sentenced to 30 years slave labor. Charity's plan: secure her new-found identity and her future with a good marriage. Then Jamie Drummond arrives.
 
Masquerading as a dissolute son of an English lord, Jamie is a smuggler on the run who can offer Charity nothing... except a passion that sets her ablaze.
 
Surrendering to desire could send them both to the gallows.
 
But rolling fate's dice and shedding their masquerades may well earn a bounty far greater than either imagined, if it does not first burn their hopes to ashes.

Kathryn is livid. Pride is looking forward to the journey. Neither expects to be swept into a maelstrom of bloodshed and beauty, where each must risk everything for the ultimate love.
