Book One
The Journey Begins
Jamie MacDonald, a young Scot mourning the deaths of his father and
brothers in the ill-fated battle of Culloden, decides to take his mother
to the New World. But tragedy and unforeseen circumstance dog Jamie’s
journey and he is pressed into service aboard a pirate ship commanded by
a ruthless Spaniard.
Antonio Rodriguez is a man with a dark past, but also with an allure Jamie cannot resist.
The two men embark on a stormy relationship—but can their feelings
for each other survive the danger that surrounds them, threatening not
only their love, but their very lives?
Book Two
The New World
When Jamie finally reaches the Americas, he is a changed man—one
whose innocence has been replaced by a keen sense of self-preservation
and a determination to survive, no matter what. That determination is
challenged when he is charged with piracy and must choose between a
death sentence or life as an indentured slave.
Choosing to live, he suffers the humiliation of slavery until he is
rescued by Tanaka, a Choctaw warrior-shaman. Jamie joins the Choctaws
against the soldiers of King George, who are trying to force them off
their land. It isn’t long before Jamie and Tanaka’s admiration for each
other becomes a love that will shape their destinies.
Book Three
The Fight for Freedom
As the English army advances on the Choctaw nation, Jamie and Tanaka
enlist the aid of a young Lieutenant, William McBride, who is
sympathetic to the Choctaw cause. Their quest for peace is thwarted by
Captain John Davenport, who orders their arrest then leads his men into a
crushing defeat at the hands of the Choctaws. Court martialed for
desertion under fire, Davenport seeks revenge on all those he holds
responsible for his fall from grace.
As all these forces come together for the final struggle to survive,
Jamie and Tanaka face their greatest challenge yet. Is their will strong
enough to overcome those who seek to destroy them, and can their love
protect them from the hazards of the wilderness itself?
Book Four
Into The West
Jamie and Tanaka encounter an English encampment adjacent to a
Choctaw village and, much to Jamie’s amazement, are welcomed by the
commander, Captain Matthew Garland, and his companion, Nashoba, a
Choctaw chief. Before long, Jamie and Tanaka are involved in yet another
confrontation with the French, this time on the side of the English.
Jamie, at first wary of the affable Captain Garland, soon begins to see
that the man is honorable and a good leader of his men.
When they reach their objective, Fort Bligh, they find it commanded
by a drunken Colonel Fowler, and Matthew is forced to assume command.
The fort is attacked by a large French army, the leaders of which are
already infuriated by Jamie, Tanaka and the Choctaw scouts’ successful
attempts to harass the army’s approach.
But the danger they all face comes not only from a common enemy, but
also from within their own ranks when a humiliated officer intends to
punish Matthew for his supposed treason.
Can Jamie and his friends save Matthew from a deranged man out for revenge, or will grief overshadow victory?
