Bond-Woman

by n/a

Life as a bond-woman in the new tobacco lands of the Americas is almost unendurable. Yet Verity has chosen to live in the raw, bustling British Colony of Virginia. Faced with a death-or-transportation sentence after being falsely accused of theft in harsh seventeenth-century London, Verity grasped at life. Deported from England, auctioned on the Jamestown quayside like an animal, she faces seven long years as the slave of Gray Garnett, owner of the plantation Endeavour. He believes her to be a thief and a harlot and treats her as such. How can Verity retain her self-respect when the man who owns her life and soul threatens to capture her heart as well?
