Elizabeth Charlotte Waller is the only daughter of a wealthy cotton plantation owner. It's common for many to have arranged marriages to appease their parents' business interests. And when Eliza is told she must marry the plantation over's oldest son Everett Jackson, she doesn't know what to think. She expected it eventually. It all worked out. Her older brother Ulysses would marry whenever since there weren't any elder girls but Eliza around. And Eliza would be the next Missus of the Jackson house when Everett took over. But after a great cotton harvest, her father throws a large party.
There Eliza met Jasper Lander, son of her daddy's biggest rival Mr. Lander. Jasper has his own views that affect Eliza more than she thought. Jasper hates slavery--and boy does Eliza's plantation, and even his own daddy's plantation have a lot of slaves.
Slowly, Eliza falls for the mysterious Jasper. But she's been promised to Everett.
But the night Jasper comes a callin' on Eliza, he proposes something; let's run away and take as many slaves as possible with us, to the North.
It's tempting and Eliza accepts. But some slaves are afraid of getting lashed and just what happens when a slave tells Everett of their midnight dally?

She's caught wind of the Oklahoma Land Rush and now she's set her mind on getting a chunk of land for herself. She's tired of the high minded white people from her old town and she wants to take charge of her own life. She is well aware of all the risks she may face by going alone into unknown territory, but she's willing to take that chance to have a new start on life. Derek Greyson, on the other hand, is a man simply wanting a change in scenery. After his parents died, he'd been taking care of his little sister. But now that she's married, he's turned his attention away from his home in Texas, and to the Land Rush in Oklahoma. He finds himself in the dust ridden land with thousands of others, greedy for a piece of the land. What he didn't expect, however, was to meet a lively little African woman with a sharp tongue, deep chocolate eyes and a mountain load of prejudices against white men due to the murder of her little sister. What will he do when he finds himself falling for her, along with all of her emotional demons? And for Abigail, what will she do when the stranger with icy blue eyes and a charming smile decides to break all social norms just to be with her?Complete![𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 [Sample of Published Book]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/63486446-256-k995532.jpg)
