About the Book
***WINNER OF THE 2017 FAITH, HOPE, & LOVE READER’S CHOICE AWARD FOR LONG HISTORICALS***
Because of an earlier betrayal, Franklin vows never to open his heart to another woman. But he desires an heir.
When Lorinda is finally out from under the control of men who made all the decisions in her life, she promises herself she will never allow a man to control her again. But how can she provide for her infant son?
Marriage seems like the perfect arrangement until two people from Franklin’s past endanger Lorinda. How can he save her? And how will this affect the way they feel about each other?

I cannot imagine living in times when men controlled so much of a woman’s life. I am grateful for women who fought, sacrificed and died for women’s right.
