Book Synopsis: She was not what she seemed!
Patience Worth came to Jamestown, Virginia, as one of a shipload of young maids sent from England to become brides, or mistresses, of the bachelors of that brawling, lusty colony.
Captain Ralph Percy saw her, fell in love, wooed her -- and married her.
Only afterwards did he discover that she was really Lady Jocelyn Leigh, ward of His British Majesty. And that she had fled England because the King intended to marry her to his favorite, Lord Carnal.
When Lord Carnal came to Jamestown, hot in pursuit of the woman he lusted for, Lady Jocelyn confessed the truth. And released Captain Percy from his vows, knowing that if he opposed the King's favorite he would die.
But Captain Percy, much as he respected his King, had married for love. And he chose to face disgrace and death rather than give her up.
