Nothing in her pampered past has prepared her for the harsh conditions in this new land . . .
Sabrina Fairfax was raised in an elegant house with servants catering to her every desire. With her father's unexpected death, she finds herself impoverished and alone in London. Among his papers, however, she discovers a deed to a piece of land in the Colonies and seizes it as her best--and perhaps only--hope.
A mix-up lands Sion Kenyon, an out-of-work miner, in jail. Sabrina arranges his release on the condition that he accompany her to America as an indentured servant. They soon find that nothing is easy in this new land. And adding to the hardships of pioneer life is Sabrina's struggle with jealousy as she watches Sion's growing attraction for her friend and neighbor.
