For the Heart of Adohi
Book 2 of the Trilogy

She was the mountain’s secret. He was its spirit.
Together, they would fight for the heart of freedom—
and for each other.

Luella Carter, Adohi, has found sanctuary among the Cherokee—and in the quiet strength of Tayané, the warrior who once saved her life. Together they seek peace in a land standing on the edge of change, where whispers from Washington threaten to drive the Cherokee from their homes and the men of Burnsville still thirst for blood.

When word of her survival reaches the town she fled, Adohi must confront the world that once claimed to own her. Torn between two identities and haunted by her father’s death, she struggles to understand what freedom truly means—and what she is willing to sacrifice to keep it.

As men gather and vengeance burns in the valley below, Adohi and Tayané’s love becomes both their strength and their rebellion.
Bound by heart, spirit, and the mountain that shelters them, they will face the storm together—because some hearts are too wild to be conquered, and some loves are worth dying for.

For the Heart of Adohi is a sweeping tale of love, courage, and belonging set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge frontier.

The Captive’s Heart: A Story of Forbidden Love in the Old South is a sweeping tale of passion and peril,
where love burns brightest against the darkness of duty and desire.
