They’re both too busy for love . . . but love is not too busy for them
Selah Hopewell seems to be the only woman in Virginia Colony who has no wish to wed. True, there are too many men and far too few women in James Towne. But Selah already has her hands full assisting her father in the family’s shop. And now she is in charge of an incoming ship of tobacco brides who must be looked after as they sort through their many suitors.
Xander Renick is perhaps the most eligible tobacco lord in the settlement. His lands are vast, his crops are prized, and his position as a mediator between the colonists and the powerful Powhatan nation surrounding them makes him indispensable. But Xander is already wedded to his business and still grieves the loss of his wife.
Can two fiercely independent people find happiness and fulfillment on their own? Or will they discover that what they’ve been missing in life has been right in front of them all along?
This is perhaps one of the loveliest historical I have read , inspired John Rolfe… the Englishman that loves an Indian Princess . This was so beautifully and poetically written, and the love story lingered on my heart, long after I left it’s pages . Xander and Selah are obviously meant for each other , and they barely manage to keep their smoldering chemistry under control during many sweet moments . They were very responsible to guard their hearts though until they knew they wanted to commit to each other for life . This story was a case of heart wants what it wants , though they both fought it for a decent potion of the book. Amidst the peril of tensions between the English and Indians , this lush love story is sure to capture the hearts of readers .
