Sweet Land of Liberty — Ellen Kelly

FOR LOVE OF LIBERTY

It was a fierce battle, but naturalist Liberty Bishop was determined to stand her ground. All she wanted was one small parcel of land among the thousands of acres of timberland owned by her neighbor. If she could turn the land into a wildlife preserve, there would be a chance of saving a rare species of bird that lived on Caldwell's acres.

From the moment Brock Hardin saw Liberty boiling weeds at a herbal cooking demonstration, he knew she was a rare species of woman. He longed to run his fingers through her honey-brown curls, kiss her angelic face, capture her elfin spirit. Only one thing stood between them. Liberty's obstinate neighbor was none other than Brock's adopted uncle, Rufus Caldwell.

Liberty couldn't resist the lure of Brock's sexy brown eyes. Whenever he was near, the air was charged with sizzling, electric passion. But she re-fused to abandon her vigilant protection of the wilderness. With or without Brock's love, she vowed to turn the thicket into a sweet land of liberty for the animals...or die trying!
