The Way of Peace

To be free from the bondage of her unspoken past, Melanie Thorne leaves Liverpool for a new life in America only to be pawned off to a young tobacco farmer. Who doesn't want a wife and frankly she doesn't want a husband.

William Clemmet is a young tobacco farmer and would have been an heir of the dukedom if his father did not give him the tobacco farm two years ago. The farm is thriving under his constant watch. He is content with his life and is used to things going his way. Until the day he is guilt tripped into a marriage he doesn't want.

A prostitute with far more under the current of those brown eyes of pain and tragedy than she cares to bear on her already fragile bruised shoulders. A man who sees a hurting soul but doesn't have an inkling of know how to help her. With the right care and nurturing on his part he might could unlock the box of her past, if their neighbor doesn't beat him to it first.
