Moss Rose
Scottie Barrett
As the Bordeaux Merchant drops anchor in Chesapeake Bay, freedom is nearly in her grasp . . . but there’s a six-foot, four-inch snag in her plans. Levi North lives his life in two worlds. With a preternatural talent for Indian warfare tactics he has earned a captain's rank in the Virginia militia and the nickname Hawk. As a thriving, tobacco planter he is intent on establishing a superior stable for his estate, Moss Rose and guarantees passage for an expert horseman from England.
Retrieving his new hireling in Chesapeake, he finds he's been duped. He's not about to let the charming little scoundrel off easily and binds her to him with a contract of indenture. He’d sworn he would never trade a man’s freedom for profit. His principles, though, are no match for his desire to possess his newest employee.
