Publisher's summary

As a child, Hester Wyatt escaped slavery, but now the dark-skinned beauty is a member of Michigan's Underground Railroad, offering other runaways a chance at the freedom she has learned to love.

When one of her fellow conductors brings her an injured man to hide, Hester doesn't hesitate...even after she is told about the price on his head. The man in question is known as the "Black Daniel", a vital member of the North's Underground Railroad network. But Hester finds him so rude and arrogant, she begins to question her vow to hide him.

Galen Vachon is a member of one of the wealthiest free black families in New Orleans. He has turned his back on the lavish living he is accustomed to in order to provide freedom to those who are enslaved in the South. However, as he heals, he cannot turn his back on Hester Wyatt; he is determined to make this gorgeous and intelligent woman his own. Yet there are traitors to be discovered and slave catchers to be evaded before Hester and Galen can find the freedom that only true love can bring.

Contains mature themes.

great read

Slow start and I was a bit irritated with the properness of the narrator's voice. Also irritated with the French accent that had NO taste of NOLA. But the story was so good I got over it & began to enjoy.

History but erotic

Story line confirms history. For the most part, I liked the story however a bit erotic for me.

I already love the book but the audible really brought it to life. The narrator did an awesome job and made me fall in love with the story all over again.

My Favorite Book

This book has been my favorite for the last few years. I listened to it twice when I first found it. I like to listen to it around the holidays. Beverly Jenkins includes so much history. The characters are fully credible. They are very real to me. The narration is not the best except for the quasi-Creole accent of a few of the male characters. The narrator’s pauses are not well-timed or edited in quite a few places. Despite that, the story is worth a listen and definitely worth a self-read.
