Darling obstacles (22 page)

Sweeping from England's West Country in the years of the Napoleonic Wars when smuggling flourished and life was led dangerously, to the beauty of Maryland horse country — a golden land already shadowed by slavery and soon to be ravaged by war — here is a novel richly spun of authentically detailed history and sumptuous romance, the story of a woman's life and the generations of two families interwoven by fortune and fate, told as it could only be by the bestselling author of THE PROUD BREED.

Before it was over, Lydia and Ross would face death ... the truth about each other . . . and the astonishing strength of-their love.
