I wrote this novel to add to the series, Canadian Historical Brides, in honor of Canada's 150th birthday. I loved learning the history of New Brunswick, with the help of Nancy Bell, and turning it into a romantic adventure. An Englishwoman who comes to wed a soldier, rejects him, and falls for a dashing Acadian man, who is struggling to keep his trading post out of a villain's hands.

I love the characters and I cheered for Amelia, a proper Englishwoman, and Gilbert, a roguish Acadian trader whose mother fled to avoid deportation.
Amelia sailed from England to what would become Canada to marry a man chosen by her father, but she had the courage to choose love over conventions, saw the birth of a new province, and found her rightful place in this wild country where men and women fight to build new lives.
Very enjoyable read!
