Description

Forced to leave her childhood home, Abigail Clarke flees to the royal capital of North Carolina. She soon finds that there are few jobs for a girl who's only been trained to be a planter's wife or a healer. Starting over as Abby, she lies her way into a position as a maid in the royal governor's household.

But her healing skills–and her magical talent for knowing–have drawn the attention of the governor's stepson. Nathaniel Eton is charming, mysterious–and completely forbidden to a servant. Yet Abby can't resist her fascination with him…until his secrets threaten to put the fragile, new life she's created into jeopardy.
