A Settler's Passion
Hocutt, author
JAMESTOWNE, 1611 Four years have passed since the colonists sailed up the Chesapeake to establish the first permanent English settlement in the New World. And now… it’s barely hanging on. Thomas Harcourt is desperate to save the settlement from ruin, but he has one major problem: Lady Elizabeth Rotheley, a woman who will do almost anything to live by her own rules, no matter what it costs her or anyone else. As Thomas embarks on an unpopular and dangerous plan to save the colony, the two are forced to work together to protect a young tribal boy. However, when Elizabeth runs off to the Paspahegh village to avoid an arrange marriage, everything starts to fall apart, putting Thomas, and the entire settlement, in grave danger and leaving them each asking themselves… Is honor worth the ultimate sacrifice?
