When nine year old only child Lizzie Henderson brings home Michael, an African straight off the boat from the Charleston slave market to be her constant companion, she sets herself and the proud son of an African chief up for a world of difficulties. As her teen years approach, Lizzie looks forward to her debutant ball, and encourages the attentions of Derrick LePoint, the charming and learned son of a wealthy slaveowner, and Josiah Walsh, a hard working, illiterate sharecropper with seven siblings. From the fields, Scarlett, a spunky and ambitious field hand makes her move to draw Michael to her, and away from her arch rival, Lizzie. When a humiliating event causes Michael to flee life in the Big House, Scarlett is here to make him feel right at home, despite the heavy workload, and stern, domineering overseer. As the years pass, Michael and Lizzie plot his escape from the plantation. But can Lizzie keep Michael's secret, even from her best friends? And who will join Michael in his journey to freedom---Lizzie or Scarlett?

Saving Grace by allie7
35 parts Complete Mature
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?
