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.

Loved it!

This was my first introduction to Beverly Jenkins and it gripped me from that start. I fell completely in love with the characters and loved the mix of fact and fiction. Robin Eller was amazing in her narration. 5 stars all the way around!

BRAVO!! Once again Beverly has not disappointed.

This book flowed very nicely. I like it when a story has balance. Yes, it was a little predictable with the matchup with Galen and Hester but it still worked. It was an easy read and I can't wait to grab another one. What I love most are the history lessons so expertly woven into the story. Brilliant at marrying fantasy and truth! This maybe my fifth book by Jenkins, a fan, I boldly am!!!

Needs better voice work

The narrator wasn't what I expected or imagined.
I would have preferred a man narrate the story.
Her voice acting was very painful.
