Mutiny of the Heart

A proud Loyalist and a jaded patriot are bound by a child and a shared loss-but as sparks fly, they must decide if love is worth trusting the enemy. Heather has no reason to like Lucas Reed. He is an American, who's fight for liberty from England led to Heather's family's financial ruin and the death of her father. But her cousin's dying wish was that Heather take little Jamie to his father in Charleston, and she's determined to honor that wish, even if it breaks her heart to do so. Lucas Reed knows the boy at his door cannot possibly be his, but there's no denying that Jamie has the trademark Reed blue eyes, black hair, and dimples. Still, Lucas is ready to close the door to the boy and his escort until Miss Hawthorne presents him with a letter. He instantly recognizes the writing he thought he'd never see again. The contents of the letter shatter his resolve, forcing him to open his door-and his carefully guarded heart-to the boy and his steadfast guardian. As Heather and Lucas work together to create a new life for Jamie, can they resist their growing attraction? Or will mutinous hearts finally admit their love when an enemy's desperate plot threatens their lives?
