A poverty-stricken pioneer woman looking for a new beginning, her Native American protector, and their quest for happily-ever-after on his wild, untamed homeland... Desperate to escape a life of poverty, Rose Payne enlists as a ship clerk and sails to the New World. On the way, a deadly conspiracy threatens her hope of joining the first permanent British colony in the Americas. Not knowing who she can trust among her countrymen, the fiery-haired pioneer turns to their only Native passenger for help - a tall, stoic shipmate heading home after a diplomatic tour in London. Though most of the nobility turn up their noses at Chief Manteo's broken English and foreign ways, Rose quickly finds in him a fiercely protective friend, ally, and admirer. As the web of danger closes around them, she is forced to confront the biggest risk of all - the one this dark and handsome lord of the woods poses to her heart! The Lost Colony Series is an epic, faith-filled romance series about the First Americans, the influx of European colonists to their world, and the group of men and women known as the Lost Colonists of Roanoke Island.LOST COLONY SERIES Breaking Ties Trail of Crosses Into the Mainland Higher Tides MAIL ORDER BRIDES OF CHRISTMAS MOUNTAIN Bride for the Innkeeper Bride for the Deputy Bride for the Tribal Chief MAIL ORDER BRIDES RESCUE SERIES Hot-Tempered Hannah Cold-Feet Callie Fiery Felicity Misunderstood Meg Dare-Devil Daisy Outrageous Olivia Jinglebell Jane Absentminded Amelia Bookish Belinda Tenacious Trudy Meddlesome Madge Mismatched MaryAnne
