<\/a>Blurb:<\/strong>\nBetrothed by her father to a man twice her age, Sarah Forsythe does the unthinkable\u2014she escapes her arranged marriage and runs away with the son of a Methodist minister. Not to Gretna Green, to colonial America\u2014the New World. For Sarah, a \u201cnew world\u201d of broken promises, abandonment, poverty and shame. Around her, the American Revolution is quickly developing and the siege of Boston worsens by the day. As British soldiers seek out traitors and treason, a desperate Sarah breaks open a safe looking for cash. Instead, she finds a box holding Bank of England documents. Through willpower, bitter determination, and lying through her teeth, Sarah manages to make her way home to England. What she doesn\u2019t know is that two men follow, and they will do anything to claim those documents.<\/p>\n
Bank investigator Neil McAlister faces an almost impossible task\u2014to determine the true owner of the documents by deciding who is lying. Most of all, as danger creeps ever closer, he needs to know who wants the secretive, beautiful Sarah dead.<\/p>\n
Buy link: Sarah whirled around. \u201cBecause\u2026\u201d She didn\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n \u201cNo one asked? I can barely believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n Feeling stupid and awkward, she remained silent.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t tell me you can\u2019t dance,\u201d Neil taunted.<\/p>\n \u201cTake care of your bank business and I\u2019ll take care of my shortcomings,\u201d she bit back.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t take care of my bank business if you won\u2019t allow me to take the documents to London.\u201d he said sharply.<\/p>\n \u201cI told you I want a written assurance of a reward. I know and you know I will never see them again.\u201d<\/p>\n Neil leaned closer. \u201cI told you we can apply to the courts for a warrant to seize them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou will seize a pile of ash.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou could go to prison,\u201d Neil replied coldly.<\/p>\n \u201cReally? I should have burned them in Boston to keep warm.\u201d She shrugged. \u201cI believe they are quite genuine, otherwise you wouldn\u2019t be in such a fuss.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey must be examined properly. Forgeries are the bank\u2019s biggest headache.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf they are genuine, the bank can hold them for Claude Westfield and give me an appropriate reward for bringing them safely to you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou are not shy in demanding money,\u201d Neil said caustically.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, I\u2019m not. I rely on my brother for a roof over my head and it\u2014\u201d She broke off as her cheeks flushed. \u201cGo and enjoy yourself and leave me alone.\u201d<\/p>\n As she moved away Neil put his hand on her arm. \u201cThere is no need to be unpleasant. If they are genuine, we will discuss it further.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNothing more to discuss,\u201d Sarah\u2019s eyes never left his. \u201cRemove your hand.\u201d<\/p>\n Neil\u2019s face hardened. \u201cYou think you hold all the cards, madam, but rest assured, until you are more amenable, you\u2019ll get nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNeither will you, sir. Beneath your smooth bank exterior, you are no better than your forebears who loaned their gold at outrageous interest.\u201d<\/p>\n Neil\u2019s fingers dug into her arm. \u201cYou are no better than a street hawker yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGet your hand off me,\u201d Sarah\u2019s voice rose as she wrenched her arm away. \u201cLeave me alone!\u201d<\/p>\n Neil\u2019s expression changed from irritation to disbelief to shock. \u201cGood God,\u201d he breathed. \u201cIt was you.\u201d<\/p>\n About Jan: Website<\/a> <\/p>\n Powered by Linky Tools<\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to enter your link and view this Linky Tools list…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a blog hop.
