In 1772 England, Lady Keturah Banning Tomlinson and her sisters find themselves the heiresses of their father's estates and know they have one option: Go to the West Indies to save what is left of their heritage.
Although it goes against all the conventions for women of the time, they're determined to make their own way in the world. But once they arrive in the Caribbean, proper gender roles are the least of their concerns. On the infamous island of Nevis, the sisters discover the legacy of the legendary sugar barons has vastly declined--and that's just the start of what their eyes are opened to in this unfamiliar world.
Keturah never intends to put herself at the mercy of a man again, but every man on the island seems to be trying to win her hand and, with it, the ownership of her plantation. She could desperately use an ally, but even an unexpected reunion with a childhood friend leaves her questioning his motives.
Set on keeping her family together and saving her father's plantation, can Keturah ever surrender her stubbornness and guarded heart to God and find the healing and love awaiting her?

Amazing? Awesome? Wonderful? These words can't even begin to describe what I thought of Lisa T. Bergren's newest novel. I always say that her books can't get better than the last one. And then it does. Every. Single. Time.
I'm not much of a writer so to try and explain what I loved so much about this book is difficult. Is it the strong independent heroine? The oh so charming, yet genuine, man who tries to woo her heart? The plot with adventure at the turn of every page? Maybe it's all those things, and more, combined. After all, in my opinion, a great book isn't one that you can list a favorite thing about it. It's one that you can't stop listing your favorite things!
If the next few books in this series are as seriously addicting as this one…well there's no use trying to find a cure for me. Because I don't want one!
