After leaving England behind for a new life in the West Indies with her sisters, Verity Banning wants something to call her own. Her affinity for animals inspires her to set up a business importing horses, as well as other goods in demand by the island residents. But when she arrives in the Colonies to purchase her goods, unexpected news of Captain Duncan McKintrick awaits her–as does the captain’s handsome brother, Ian–whose sympathies lie with the fledgling Patriot cause.
As the great-granddaughter of a British general and friend to many Loyalists, Verity believed all she wanted was a peaceful resolution. But both the Patriots and the impassioned Ian McKintrick are steadily laying claim to her heart. When faced with the decision of what–and for whom–she will fight, can she set her feet on a new path despite the danger that awaits?

4.5 stars
"They seek not a man to direct them or lord over them, but rather one who will stand beside them, celebrating their strengths."
The Banning sisters(plus one Covington) are by necessity, an independent lot. Verity Banning in particular lives and breathes her sister Keturah's advice, "Grin and bear it and always be a lady . . . . . then quietly beat them at their own game." Deciding to build her own enterprise on the British island of Nevis, Verity capitalizes on her love of horses, and the scarcity of the animals in the West Indies, by traveling to New York to purchase equine inventory for "Banning's Bridlery & More"; while deep in her heart another motive trembles for attention, discovering the fate of a most beloved captain.
Imagine Verity's surprise when instead of reuniting with Captain Duncan McKintrick, she is introduced to Captain Ian McKintrick, who reluctantly bears devastating news. In spite of their new acquaintance and determining to honor his brother's wishes, Ian offers to ferry Verity's goods back home, even though his loyalties to England have become tenuous at best. Verity's almost instantaneous attraction to Ian is rather confusing, for America is on the verge of a revolution and this captain's allegiances could deliver danger straight to her dear family's doorstep.
Enter into the world of the brave and the free as Verity discovers whether or not she truly has "the heart of a warrior". Lisa Bergren has delivered an exceptional addition to her Sugar Baron's Daughters series.
