The Bartered Bride

Chapter One

The Tower of London, Autumn 1835

The stones of the Tower radiated anguish and despair. How many prisoners had paced these rooms, praying for escape? As a nearby church bell tolled seven times, Gavin Elliott lay on his narrow bed, eyes closed. Soon he must rise and prepare for the trial that would begin today, but he preferred to hang on to the rags of a pleasant dream as long as possible. Transparent aquamarine water, white sand, Alexandra laughing with the vitality that made all other women pale by comparison.

Alex. The dream splintered and fell away. Wearily he sat up and swung his legs from the bed. The stone floor had the chill of death. Two warders were always posted in the room with him, ubiquitous as the stony chamber’s cold drafts. He’d lived shoulder to shoulder with other men when he first went to sea as a common sailor, but he’d spent too many years as the captain, the owner, the taipan, to enjoy this return to constant scrutiny.

Reviewer: Myfrogleggs from West Union, SC US
This book is a work of pleasure from start to finish. The characters are so touching that they suck you into the story at the gut level and keep you there to see how their story ends. I loved this book!!! Gavin is the nicest hero I've ever read. They don't make them like this very often, and Ms. Putney's portrayal of slavery from a woman's perspective had me crying and rooting for the herione, Alex. I love this book so much that it is in the top 5 of the books I've read this year and I read voraciously, as historical romance is my favorite genre. Hope this helps.
