โA fascinating story, rich in emotion.โ โDiana Gabaldon, New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series
North Carolina, 1793
Ian Cameron, a Boston cabinetmaker turned frontier trapper, has come to Mountain Laurel hoping to remake himself yet againโinto his planter uncleโs heir. No matter how uneasily the role of slave owner rests upon his shoulders. Then he meets Seonaโbeautiful, artistic, and enslaved to his kin.
Seona has a secret: sheโs been drawing for years, ever since that day she picked up a broken slate to sketch a portrait. When Ian catches her at it, he offers her opportunity to let her talent flourish, still secretly, in his cabinetmaking shop. Taking a frightening leap of faith, Seona puts her trust in Ian. A trust that leads to a deeper, more complicated bond.
As fascination with Seona turns to love, Ian can no longer be the man others have wished him to be. Though his own heart might prove just as untrustworthy a guide, he cannot simply walk away from those his kin enslaves. With more lives than his and Seonaโs in the balance, the path Ian chooses now will set the course for generations of Camerons to come.
A story of choice and consequence, of bondage and freedom, of faith and family.
Och! That moment you swipe up only to find out you’re at the end of the chapter! So looking forward to holding Mountain Laurel and continuing this saga. Beautifully crafted as always, Lori!
Thank you Doree! It’s been a long time coming and you’ve been along on that journey, even our long ago road trip adventure.
