LOVE'S CHERISHED TREASURE Trembling with fear, Charity Brown let her shapeless woolen gown fall to the ships deck and, with a silent prayer dived naked into the dark waters of Chesapeake Bay. In the distance lay the moonlit shores of the American colonies—and freedom! And when she glided down the grand staircase of one of Maryland's finest estates—introduced as the mistress' niece—no one suspected for a moment that she was Charity Brown, an escaped prisoner of the Crown. Charity's plan to secure her future with a good marriage was assured... until Jamie Drummond changed everything. Jamie—an adventurer on the run, a man without wealth or position—he could offer her nothing... except a passion that set her heart on fire. And in the ecstasy of total surrender they discovered a love more cherished than all the world's riches.
