For five pounds sterling, the convict was hers. Though
Cassie hated the slave trade, her Virginia plantation
demanded the labor, and she knew this fevered man would
surely die if she left him. But as his wounds healed, and

from master of an English shipbuilding empire to fourteen
years of indentured servitude in the American colonies.

and defiler of women. While he longed to ravish the
auburn–haired beauty who owned him, he knew his one
hope of earning her love––and his
freedom––was to prove his true identity. Only
then could he turn the tables and obtain his ... Sweet
Release.
