Moontide Embrace (Historical Romance)
“Liberty had been busy since sunup, supervising the storing of meat in the smokehouse. As the last of the ham hocks was hung from the ceiling, she stepped outside and breathed in the crisp, clean air.
Automatically, she turned toward Bend of the River Plantation. Judah had told her he would see her on this day and she knew he would come. What would he do when he faced Sebastian? she wondered. Judah had every right to demand satisfaction, yet his love for Bandera might keep him from harming Sebastian. Liberty had never been able to understand what a man like Judah could see in Bandera. Didn't he know that she would never care for anyone but herself?

Soon they would all be caught up in a war. She turned to Delton, the slave who had been her father's right hand, and on whom she had come to depe...nd so heavily.MoreLess
