Lady Constance Morrow, daughter of Earl Greyham has found herself on board a convict ship sailing for Virginia without chaperone or papers detailing who she is, so when they dock in the colonies she is shocked and not very happy to find out she is going to be sold for Tobacco. If that is not insult enough she has been won in a card game and her new master is not what she’s expecting. She’s expecting to get her life back once she speaks with the governor. She’s about to find out life in the colonies is much different from England
Drew O’Conner knows that only the strong survive in the new world. He has lost the love of his life and he is not interested in marrying…ever. So when he is the reluctant winner of Constance, he brings her to his home only to find out she can’t cook, how to keep house and has a sassy argumentative mouth. And she’s has red hair and freckles! But some how these two very different people learn to appreciate each other and a marriage of convenience is more then they ever thought it could be.
Ms. Gist is a wonderful addition to the inspirational romance genre. Her story is full of heart and emotion. Drew and Constance were engaging characters and their romance is truly a superb read. Ms. Gist has done her research for time period and as a result the reader will feel transported to the Virginia colony. This is one author I highly recommend and one I look forward to reading in the future.

I usually shy away from romances because they are too unrealistic but this book was realistic for the most part and once I dug in, I really couldn't put it down. I finished reading it in 2 days and there are some Christian lessons thrown in there but not too much for it to become pretentious. The romance between the main protagonist is solid but a few times unrealistic while there are a few setbacks that happen to characters in the book that keep things 'real'

This was the first book I read by Deeanne Gist but I saw a review on a blog so thought I would give it a try. I'm very glad I did. Ok, its not deep and meaningful but that's not what it sets out to be. This is a fun and light hearted romance and a very enjoyable read. I liked the historical detail, you get a real sense of what life was like for the colonists in the 17th century. It is good to read a story with christian characters, its not a "preachy" sort of book but the characters have clear morals and faith. The main characters are likeable but flawed and I wanted to read on and find out what happpens. No massive surprises in the storyline, it is a romance after all, but well written and an enjoyable read. I am now reading more of her books, there are 5 so far.
