to take risks. Josiah Cole, a small dockside trader, is prepared to
gamble everything to join the big players of the city. But he needs
capital and a well-connected wife.Marriage to Frances Scott is a
mutually convenient solution. Trading her social contacts for
Josiah's protection, Frances finds her life and fortune dependent on
the respectable trade of sugar, rum, and slaves.Into her new world
comes Mehuru, once a priest in the ancient African kingdom of Yoruba,
now a slave in England. From opposite ends of the earth, despite the
difference in status, Mehuru and Frances confront each other and
their need for love and liberty.
