Mountain Bride — Susan Sawyer

The Dissolute .Nobleman
Banished for his reckless ways,
Lord. John Winslow embarks for the New World, and the colony of "Second Sons." With nothing but his tide and his wits, the handsome, arrogant Englishman must make a fresh beginning, and his fortune, amid the strange, colorful inhabitants, including one proud, saucy beauty as free and as wild as the untamed mountains of Tennessee.

The Elusive Nymph
Though he hired her to be his laundress, mischievous Coralee Hayes is more interested in knocking the haughty, sensual lord off his lofty perch. Fiercely loyal to her small community, Coralee knows from experience that a title is no measure of a man. Her sunny laughter and unconcern for Lord Winslow's dignity strip away his protective veneer, revealing a spirit to match her own.

As their passions escalate, John and Coralee are drawn irresistibly toward one another, despite all their differences. Until the time comes when Lord Winslow must choose between the beckoning call of the privileged life he had always taken for granted, and a life of challenges with his gentle mountain bride.
