Where loyalty divides, love unites, but at what cost?

Selah’s life has been a relentless battle, but she has finally carved out a place to call her own.

Nonetheless, peace is hard to come by in a world where her past and future collide.

Enter Charles, the ruthless and entitled heir who sees Selah’s inheritance as an insult to his family name. Determined to reclaim what he considers his birthright, he sets a plan in motion: he dispatches his estranged younger brother to force her off the land. Finbar is no ordinary messenger. Haunted by his troubled past, he returns to the family plantation seeking redemption and finds himself captivated by Selah’s indomitable spirit and quiet strength.

Drawn to her and her son in ways he never expected, he questions his loyalties, sparking a confrontation with his brother that will change all their lives forever. In a time of deep divisions and unyielding social norms, can love truly triumph?

When betrayal and courage collide, Selah and Finbar must face the fallout of their choices.

Set against the vivid backdrop of the antebellum South, this is a stirring tale of forbidden love, second chances, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for a better future.
