Liberty Hunter is half Seneca Indian, all red-head, and stands accused of a brutal murder that the citizens of Williamsburg, Virginia believe her fully capable of committing. Esquire Stephan MacLeod disagrees. Tall, handsome and enamored with Liberty, Stephan believes he can prove Liberty innocent and offers marriage to keep her from jail. Liberty finds Stephan overbearing and opportunistic, and insists the marriage be in name only. With the judge threatening to see her hang, and the real murderer seeking to end her life, the only safe place may be with Stephan. Until passion sparks and Liberty realizes Stephan could be more than a temporary safe haven and Stephan discovers he must trust Liberty to make her own decisions. Still, neither dare speak of love or a true "until death do us part" commitment until the murderer is found.

What does it mean to become an adult in the face of economic uncertainty and increasing racial and immigrant diversity? Nearly half of all young people in the United States are racial minorities, and one in four are from immigrant families. Diversity and the Transition to Adulthood in America offers a comprehensive overview of young people across racial and immigrant groups and their paths through traditional markers of adulthood—from finishing education, working full time, and establishing residential independence to getting married and having children. Taking a look at the diversity of experiences, the authors uncover how the transition to adulthood is increasingly fragmented, especially among those without college degrees. This book will introduce students to immigrant, racial, and ethnic diversity in the transition to adulthood in contemporary America.
Star pilot Kara DeLeon makes an emergency landing on a former penal colony now peopled by descendants of outlaws. Obeying standing orders, Kara remains at the crash site but is captured by the captain of the guard. Instead of killing her on sight or carrying her to the city leaders, Aiden hides her in his home.
