Our Lives, Our Fortunes

FROM THE RAW HILLS OF SCOTLAND TO THE RAW NORTH CAROLINA SHORE...

The gentle garnet-haired daughter of a proud Scottish nobleman, lovely Lilia MacAllister had never imagined a place like Devil's Landing. Yet nearby, on an embattled strip of land between two great plantations, she would find herself hard pressed to survive, struggling to make a new life for herself in the Colonies.

Here fate would take one man from her and thrust her into the arms of another, binding her to a ruthless pact that would carry her from her pitiful hovel into the storm center of a passion-torn dynasty. Her stubborn spirit would be tried, her bold heart tested, as, in the ashes of a cold and bitter bargain, she south the radiant treasure of a true and enduring love.
