Cassandra — Marie Ferrarella

1783. Cassandra MacGregor had first seen Morgan's Creek, Virginia, in a dream. A haven from the danger and persecution she was running from, this young town promised new life for a young woman accused of witchcraft -- a woman who dared not trust her secrets to any man, nor surrender herself to love...until she met Riley O'Roarke.

The rakish editor of The Virginia Gazette, Riley O'Roarke learned his trade at the hands of Benjamin Franklin and embodied all the spirit and optimism of a newly free America. Riley knew nothing about Cassandra's past or her secretly guarded abilities as a healer and seer. But her ethereal grace, her quiet dignity, and her fathomless blue eyes cast a spell over him that left a passionate and turbulent yearning in its wake. Now, while fate and desire entwined their destinies, a menacing danger once again stalked Cassandra -- a threat so dire, so brutal, it could destroy all she held dear.

From the halls of Monticello and the brilliance of Thomas Jefferson to the passionate furor of local government and a country finally at liberty, Cassandra and Riley would have to fight for a love that could not be bound...
