Some connections transcend time. Some love stories never die.
Mitsy has learned to survive in a world where the course of her life can be decided by someone else.
Tunka has learned something different: that even when a man's freedom is denied, there are parts of himself no one can truly own.
Neither expects to find the other.
What begins in quiet glances and stolen moments becomes a love neither is prepared for-a bond that gives them something dangerously close to hope. But in a world built on power, obedience, and possession, even the simple act of choosing whom to love can carry consequences.
As the life around them begins to tighten, Mitsy and Tunka are forced to confront an impossible question:
How far would you go to hold on to the one person who makes you feel free?
Set against the haunting beauty and brutality of colonial Jamaica, When the Moon Held Them is a sweeping historical love story about freedom, sacrifice, courage, and two souls determined to belong to themselves-and to each other.
For readers who love emotional historical fiction, unforgettable romance, and stories that linger long after the final page.
The moon remembers, so does the sea.
