A Conflicted Betrothal

A King's Ranger, a secret patriot, and a love that calls everything into question. As a King's Ranger on Georgia's frontier, Ansel Anderson loves his independent life. But he's also a second son, which means he'll need the favor of someone influential to secure a land grant to settle his future. What better way to win support than by marrying the daughter of a member of the Governor's Council? Yet Ansel's straightforward plan is complicated by Miss Scott's aloofness and his own growing sympathy for the passionate cause of the Liberty Boys. As drawn to the enigmatic Ansel Anderson as Temperance Scott might be, he'd be more of a match for her feisty twin sister-who is all too happy to oblige. Not only would timid, nearsighted Temperance make a poor wife for a man trained for life on the frontier, but anyone she allows close to her must share her secret patriot ideals. When Savannah erupts into riots and intrigue following the passage of the Stamp Act, Ansel is tasked with identifying a spy passing sensitive information to the Liberty Boys and the author of anonymous letters threatening those loyal to the governor. And as suspicions focus on the Scott family, which is he prepared to sacrifice-love or loyalty?
