| Welcome to the Captain's Quarters! HMS Surprise |
In a colony named New Hope, while their friends are
seeking a Southern utopia. . . .
Hayden is seeking revenge.
Relentlessly.
After years of all but selling his soul
to track down his scoundrel of a father, Hayden Gale discovers his search must
continue in South America, where his father is reported to be helping colonize
Brazil. Hayden has nothing more to lose, certainly not a good reputation, and
vows to keep pursuing--at any cost--the vile man who he believes killed his
mother.
Magnolia is seeking a way out.
Desperately.
She’s in the jungles of Brazil against
her will, but what choice does Magnolia Scott have? Her father insisted on
uprooting their family to escape the uncertainty of Southern life after the
Civil War. But how will she survive without all she holds dear—wealthy suitors,
beautiful clothes, summer balls, and slaves waiting on her every whim? She vows
to find a way to get back home—and attaches herself to handsome Hayden Gale.
As they journey toward Rio de Janeiro,
they both seek to use the other for their own purposes. Deceptively. Falling in
love was never part of their plans. . . .

For Love or Loyalty
by Jennifer Hudson Taylor
(Book 1)
One conquest could destroy her, but avenge his family.
Scotland to Carolina, 1760
Malcolm MacGregor vows to free his family and exact revenge against Duncan Campbell. When the opportunity arises, Malcolm decides to use Duncan’s daughter as the bargaining price. Lauren Campbell is the perfect answer, until she begins chipping away at the bitterness in Malcolm’s heart and changing everything. Her bold faith and forgiveness ignites guilt he would rather avoid and a love he doesn't deserve.
Lauren Campbell never expected to discover such a caring and protective man behind the façade of Malcolm MacGregor’s fierce reputation. When they arrive in America, things turn against them, and Lauren finds herself in a fate worse than death. Now Malcolm has the dilemma of freeing the rest of his family or rescuing Lauren, but time is short and with little means, he needs a miracle.
