Proper English governess Eleanor Morgan flees to the colonies to escape the wrath of a brute of an employer. When the Charles Town family she’s to work for never arrives to collect her from the dock, she is forced to settle for the only reputable choice remaining to her—marriage to a man she’s never met. Trapper and tracker Samuel Heath is a hardened survivor used to getting his own way by brain or by brawn, and he’s determined to find a mother for his young daughter. But finding a wife proves to be impossible. No upstanding woman wants to marry a murderer.

Captivating and well told this novel is sure to be a keeper! Griep drew me into the story from the start, and had me fascinated with her portrayal of early settler life and the unease rising up before the Revolutionary War. Her cast of characters further intrigued me; from the main characters down to the secondary ones, they were well drawn out and engaging. In truth, Griep could most certainly make this a series; although I see no plans for that to happen.
This novel weaves in faith, action, adventure, drama and romance seamlessly; and you can't but help to enjoy the journey! While this is the first novel I have read by Griep, it will most certainly not be the last!
Absolutely wonderful from beginning to end!
