[An American Historical Romance 02] • Bittersweet Endeavors

Lady Myra’s idyllic life is taken away when her uncle, Sir Ashton, slays her parents and claims her father’s title of Lord Brunnington. To guarantee she keeps his treacherous secret, he forces her from London to the colonies by way of indentured servitude. Sir Ashton further seals Myra’s silence by holding her younger sister captive.

Myra arrives in Jamestown and Seth Preston, the son of a wealthy tobacco plantation owner, purchases her bond. Seth finds himself more attracted to the servant girl than the wealthy woman of status his father has chosen for his wife. By Seth’s defiance, he upsets his father’s quest for higher social class, power, and wealth that the New World makes possible to those not born of title. The question is how far will Anvil Preston go to keep Seth and Myra apart to achieve a better future for his family?

Until Myra finds a way to rescue her sister and enact vengeance upon the new Lord Brunnington, she remains silent about her true identity. In doing so, Myra realizes it will take true love to capture Seth’s heart and not by way of status and title to lure him. Yet will love be enough when all odds are against their being together, particularly when their respective statuses aren't acceptable for a union in either one’s country?
