A Dangerous Beauty

Summary

Desperate to escape her dire situation, Nell Graves signs four years of her life away for an indenture in the colony of Maryland. Once she has served her time, she will have a chance at something few poor girls get: a completely fresh start. Unfortunately, the troubles in England haven’t left Maryland unscarred. In a province where men outnumber women six to one, Nell doesn’t think keeping her head down is an option. Matters only grow worse when she finds herself drawn to the worst man in the province for her to get involved with—extremely wealthy, very Catholic James Atwood. Caught in the middle of a possible freemen revolt and battling her own traitorous emotions, Nell worries her last refuge might be more dangerous than the civil war she left behind.
