Brooklyn, 1776 - New, revised edition, with bonus epilogue!
Elijah Sutton is no fool, despite his love of a country that enslaves
people like him. When he's offered land, livestock, and - most
importantly - his freedom if he fights in his Patriot owner's stead,
Elijah believes he'll soon have everything he ever wanted...and then he
meets Kate.
The Crown has promised freedom to slaves who escape their Patriot
masters and join the British side, and Kate intends to take them up on
it. She's eager to leave America - and the painful memories it holds for
her - far behind...and then she meets Elijah.
Their attraction is undeniable, but their goals couldn't be further
apart. When Elijah is captured by the British while helping Kate,
they're thrown into close proximity and forced to choose between their
hopes for the future and their hearts.
Be Not Afraid originally appeared in the anthology For Love and
Liberty: Untold Love Stories of the American Revolution.
