An American Historical Romance Wilderness Hearts - Book One RONE Award FinalistA sweeping, heart-stirring romance set in 1800 Philadelphia and the Kentucky frontier. When Daniel Armitage uncovers the truth of his parentage, he leaves behind everything he has ever known. But will the search for his real father cost him the love he longs to claim? Philadelphia trembles under the deadly grip of Yellow Fever. Daniel's respected family cannot escape the epidemic's reach, and he loses everyone he loves. With his mother's final breath comes a shattering confession: the man who raised him is not his true father. Determined to uncover his identity, Daniel journeys to Kentucky-the raw edge of America's western frontier. But seeking a father with a different last name brands him an illegitimate bastard, a stigma that follows him everywhere. Only two people look beyond it: his newfound father, Daniel "Bear" MacKay, and the fiercely independent Ann Byrd. Daniel is captivated by Ann's beauty and spirit, yet her father forbids her from seeing a man born out of wedlock. Social scorn and legal discrimination close in on Daniel, even as ruthless Charles Snyder-obsessed with claiming Ann-terrorizes the MacKay family and the entire settlement. When Snyder's cruelty reaches a breaking point, Bear's act of unconditional love gives Daniel a chance at the life he never thought he deserved. But only Ann's courage can save their future. Loss took everything from Daniel. Can love give him even more?
