Embracing Destiny — K.T. Smith

1871 Philadelphia, five-year old Randa was snatched from the loving arms of her Seminole mother by her evil father and left in the care of her prominent grandfather. Life for Randa in the household was initially very hard since she was the shame and dirty little secret of the elite black Brewster family. Suddenly her circumstances changed when her grandfather took her under his wing and molded her into a strong, intelligent young woman. After the death of her beloved grandfather, Randa moved to Tullahassee, Oklahoma with the desire to locate the mother from whom she was taken. Instead, she found a new life. A journey that turned her world around and around and upside down. Black Seminole Sutter Bruner was dynamic, jaw-dropping handsome, and an educated lawyer; however, he preferred tracking and upholding the law. His encounter with the beautiful Randa Brewster changed his entire outlook on the direction he wanted his life to take when she somehow wrangled her way into his heart with all of her sass, hard-headiness, and compassion.
