The Isle of Holt was once known for peace and harmony. But it all changed when Duke Baldric died and his brother, Lord Richard took his place. Duke Baldric's son, Peter, has returned from university on the mainland and is astounded to find his people in destitute, and himself, running for his life. Peter finds refuge in his rebelling people, and help from a young, beautiful noblewoman.
Avelina Mason has been helping raise a rebellion for the past decade. She knows the stakes but is driven by the need for justice. Lord Richard has already stolen enough from her family, and Avelina won't grant him anymore. But everything is changed when a stranger claiming to be the dead Duke Baldric's son steps foot on the Isle.
With duties to fulfill and a passion for freedom, Peter and Avelina join forces to fight against Lord Richard. And neither one can deny the growing attraction between them. But Peter and Avelina both have valuable prices on their heads. And when Lord Richard wreaks havoc on the Isle, both know that it will be a God-given miracle if they both make it out alive.

Kindness leaned back against the alley's wall and grabbed an apple from the bag of groceries. She enjoyed the fruit. Until she overheard a commotion of gamblers hollering. They were chasing an Asian-Italian young man dressed in a black long sleeve shirt paired with navy pants and boots. Apparently, he had cheated the men and ran away with their money. Kindness watched the young man jumped across the royals' carriage bumping into her. She yelled falling backwards onto the alley's ground with all the stuff in her hands scattered.

"So why are you hiding a plot to have us all murdered, especially myself?"
