In this tale of bold desire, adventure and learning to trust the one you love, Leah pledges herself to the half-breed no one trusts and returns to him years later to track her kidnapped son and they find their lost love is rekindled and burning hot again.

“This is a wonderful story of star-crossed lovers reunited and a wonderful read! I loved the book which takes place on the Tidewater in the 18th century. The story becomes compelling as the two learn to forgive and trust each other and the sparks of their old love ignites into passion. The story held me spellbound. Five Stars!”—Old Fashioned Reader, Amazon

Raised on a tidewater plantation and educated to be a gentleman, half-breed Harrison DeNay captures the heart of sixteen-year-old Leah Tanner with his loyalty and gentle words and tender passion. One day deep in the forest they pledge their eternal love with a secret whispered promise.
