About this ebook

Love against all odds…

Rose Gallant was always the agreeable sister, which is why she’ll do anything to help her Cajun family find their father in the wilds of Louisiana. Joseph Gallant was separated from Rose and her two sisters thirteen years ago during le grand dérangement, the brutal exile by the British from their Nova Scotia home.

So when a rich Louisiana Creole offers marriage and a chance to help, Rose believes the union will reunite her family.

But it’s the passionate and handsome Coleman Thorpe that sets her heart to flame. Thorpe is both English and Protestant and therefore forbidden, but Rose will soon learn how determined a man can be in love, able to break down all boundaries and bring a family together. 

"Ms. Claire's tale of the Acadians (Cajuns) is rich in Old World traditions as she explores the early beginnings of what was to become the melting pot of American society. Rose and Coleman's love is the stepping stone to a new beginning and readers' hearts will be warmed by their love and its powerful message." —Romantic Times Magazine 

“I’m saving a spot for Cherie Claire on my keepershelf!” —Heather Nordahl, Affaire de Coeur

Ratings and reviews

As a history nut, I loved it's portrayal of the Acadians and their lives. (It matched my history textbook's facts and made it easier to correlate to it) Though there are quite a few grammatical and spelling mistakes, they do not detract much from the well-written plot. Thanks for a great read, author!

Could not put this book down. You can not wait to read what happens next. The best read ever.

Very good
