A mysterious beauty...a determined man...and the forbidden passion that unites them.
Erin Sterling is a breathtakingly beautiful debutante of Virginia. The stepdaughter of a despised slave trader, Erin's sympathies lie with those in bondage.
From the moment Ryan Youngblood spies the raven-haired beauty at the annual Rose Ball, he knows he must have her. When his offer of protection is declined, Ryan does the unthinkable—he offers marriage.
From the sweeping plantations of Virginia to the Underground Railroad movement in Philadelphia, Erin and Ryan succumb to their passions while fighting the evil forces determined to separate them at any cost.
