Jade — Betty Brooks

NAMED FOR A JEWEL

With no choice but to defend her own life, Jade Carrington killed a man. Now she would pay the terrible price. Shipped to the colonies as an indentured slave, the midnight-haired innocent feared for her future. And when a powerful, buckskin-clad stranger called out the highest bid, she feared for her heart.

SHE WOULD BECOME HIS MOST CHERISHED TREASURE

From the moment he spied her on the auction block, Matthew Hunter knew his future was irrevocably bound to the beauty with the emerald eyes. But he wasn't the only man who wanted her. The Frenchman Matthew had outbid was determined to possess the bewitching Jade for his own.

Caught in a dangerous race against time and a warring Indian tribe, Mathew spirited Jade into the untamed wilderness -- and became a prisoner himself...of her passionate love.

Together, Matthew and Jade would struggle for their survival bound by a dangerous destiny -- and a love that was the most priceless treasure of all...
