Bound By Love Juliana L Copeforth

It's 1845 and Ethan leads a comfortable life with his grandfather and his older brother James, in Sussex, England. As a result of a vile plan by James to become squire, Ethan is kidnapped and sent to America as an indentured servant, on a forged contract. Waking up, bound and gagged on a ship heading for Virginia, Ethan is faced with a life terrifyingly different to one he had previously known, a rice plantation in South Carolina awaits. Ethan's only saving grace is an unusually cultured slave girl, Syenna. Mesmerized by her breathtaking beauty and fight-back attitude, it isn't long before Ethan falls in love and their strictly forbidden and secret love affair ensues. A spellbinding story of love and romance and the stark reality of life in the 19th century, a harsh and unforgiving time that brings to life two people whose love is set to an unbelievable test. What do you do when the environment in which you reluctantly live is designed to ensure that your love cannot prevail? Is it possible that love can truly find a way?
