“Book Descriptions: Sold into slavery at seventeen, Rowena Brayemore has worked for five years as Fatia. For five years, she sees no hope of ever leaving until her master gives her away to an Englishman, Christophe Sutton. A staunch abolitionist, Sutton feels obligated to take her to Spanish Melilla and set her free, but along the way he finds himself beginning to care for her. Once in Melilla, before Sutton can find a solution for his feelings, Rowena disappears without saying a word.
Back in England, Rowena finds ignoring the hurts of her past is not easy. While she begins to relearn the customs of the culture, she realizes she is forever different from the other pampered, rich girls in London. When she and Sutton run into each other at a ball, Rowena realizes she is not the only who holds secrets.
As rumors, lies and prejudice threaten to run her out of England, Rowena must decide what is more important: being accepted by society through a lie, or embracing her past and the love that Sutton wishes to offer her.” DRIVE
