Leaving behind the Highlands for the New World at the tender age of ten, Connor Duncan learned quickly that only the fit and the fortunate survive. As a scout and an expert marksman he is both...and a man to be reckoned with. But what is a rough-hewn frontiersman like him to do with a sheltered beauty like the governor's niece? There seems to be no way to avoid the "Virgin Widow" when she insists on accompanying him on a mission through the wilderness to Fort Savannah. Neither capture, nor torture, nor the violent birth pangs of a young nation can keep them apart or stop the founding of a brand new dynasty of Duncans.
