    After leaving England behind for a new life in the West Indies with her sisters
 Verity Banning wants something to call her own. Her affinity for animals inspires her to set up a business importing horses
 as well as other goods in demand by the island residents. But when she arrives in the Colonies to purchase her goods
 unexpected news of Captain Duncan McKintrick awaits her--as does the captain's handsome brother
 Ian--whose sympathies lie with the fledgling Patriot cause. As the great-granddaughter of a British general and friend to many Loyalists
 Verity believed all she wanted was a peaceful resolution. But both the Patriots and the impassioned Ian McKintrick are steadily laying claim to her heart. When faced with the decision of what--and for whom--she will fight
 can she set her feet on a new path despite the danger that awaits?
