A Patriot's Heart — Stobie Piel

After British captain Damian Knox finds her illegally stealing food to feeding orphaned children during the American Revolution, Nina Evans must brave the harsh winter of 1778 while deciding whether to follow her forbidden love or her freedom.

A TIME WHEN INNOCENCE ENDED...

Her beauty hidden beneath ragged clothes, Nina Evans had learned how to survive in British-occupied Philadelphia. During the harsh winter of 1778, the orphaned children of the American Revolution desperately needed food. Nina had gambled her life to break into a British storeroom to steal provisions and was caught in the act by a handsome young captain. But instead of sending her to the stockade, Damian Knox made an unexpected offer of help.

AND A FIGHT FOR LOVE BEGAN...

Damian had seen the rag-tag children running through the streets, but meeting the pretty patriot who risked death to save them inspired his aid and desire. He was aware that accepting his kindness would brand her a traitor, and yet when passion flared between them, he wanted her to know him not as the enemy, but as the man who fulfilled her deepest longings. Now, in a dangerous odyssey, Nina would be swept into Tory wilderness camps, where she faced an inner war amidst a nation's rebellion to escape the forbidden love growing between her and Damian or fight with all her heart for the freedom to embrace her dreams.
