β Scribed by Ladd, Linda
No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In early nineteenth-century America, a woman takes flight to protect a young boyβbut love is about to catch up to her.
Bethany Cole and her young charge, Peeto, are running for their lives, following the raging waters of the Mississippi to freedom, escaping the ruthless Luke Randall, Peetoβs father. When Luke finds Bethany and his son gone, he immediately vows to track down the lovely βkidnapper.β
However, he isnβt counting on Bethanyβs strength of will and determination. As she braves crossing the river and traversing the lawless lands of the frontier, Bethany shows him just what sheβs made of. Now, Luke finds his resolve weakening in the face of Bethanyβs beauty. She taunts and tantalizes him . . . but remains just out of reach, as a supreme battle of wills turns into a sweetly passionate surrender for the two adversaries. They began as enemies, but couldnβt defy the overwhelming need that brought them together.

Praise for Linda Ladd
βI thoroughly enjoy her work.β βLinda Lael Miller
Since she was a little girl, Linda Ladd has always been a romantic, loving nothing better than to lose herself completely in the faraway times and places of great novelists such as Jane Austen, Margaret Mitchell, and the BrontΓ« sisters. Little did she dream that someday she would be transporting legions of her own fans into exciting love stories, where darkly handsome heroes are swept away with beautiful, high-spirited heroines. Millions have enjoyed her novels since her first historical romance, Wildstar , hit the shelves in 1984. Within a year, she had signed multiple-book contracts with two different publishers and resigned from her teaching position in order to write full time. Since then, she has penned fourteen bestselling historical novels, which have been acclaimed by readers and booksellers alike. An award-winning author with a loyal following all over the world, her primary love remains with her family. Ladd recently celebrated her silver wedding anniversary with husband, Bill, and the magic between them still lingers, as he remains the inspiration for all her heroes. She enjoys a lakefront home in southern Missouri, and her daughter Laurel and son Bill have gone away to college. When not hard at work on her latest novel, her two dogs (Pete and Sampras) and two cats (Tigger and Tounces) keep her company, as well as Romeo and Juliet, a pair of snow-white swans who glide gracefully past her gazebo overlooking Misty Lake.
