Publisher Description

Author Deeanne Gist, whose writing credits include People Magazine, brings the harsh beauty of colonial Virginia to life in her first novel. Reluctant love and shared faith blossom during the daily chores and arguments of tobacco farmer Drew O'Connor and Lady Constance Morrow. Constance is everything Drew despises in a wife-she cannot cook and she prefers mathematical equations to cleaning. Worst of all, she has red hair! But when the two are forced into a marriage of convenience, Drew soon realizes how blessed he truly is.

"I surprisingly enjoyed this book. I am not much for Christian historical romance, but this book was recommended by some friends and was well worth the read. It was a page turner from the start. I loved the tension and flirtatious comical romance between the two main characters. A very sweet book."

— Britney (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I absolutely loved this book. It's an inspirational historical romance set in the Virginia colony in the 1640's. I really liked both the hero and heroine; the author made them seem very real, and I wanted them to resolve their problems and get the happiness they both deserved. "

    " I have read other books by this author. This one I had to force myself to finish reading. The characters did not speak in the English of their time and putting the feminist view in the 1600's just does not fit at all. "

    " A fun christian romance that is more true to life than a lot of romance books. You have the attraction and the struggle to keep it pure and the disagreements that you find in any relationship. "
