Mariah's Quest : 2 Harwood / By Sally Laity and Dianna Crawford. 2012 Softcover Edition. Uhrichsville, Ohio : Barbour PUblishing, 2012. 318. Mariah Harwood, one of three indentured sisters, stands on a Baltimore auction block in 1753. The dashing young gentleman who buys her just may be her ticket to marriage, wealth and freedom. Once in Colin Barclay's possession, Mariah grows to realize her pursuit won't be as easy as planned. Colin Barclay is as charming and rash as Mariah is reckless. He willingly outbids the other men for Mariah's indenturement papers, but as he claims the grateful beauty, her overbearing sister dampens his anticipation by making him solemnly promise to deliver Mariah untouched to his family's plantation. Undeterred, Colin welcomes the challenge of seducing Mariah - no strings attached. But best-laid plans soon go awry when Colin is wounded in battle. As he faces a world of bitterness, Mariah finds she needs more than charm to win his heart. Can she summon the inner beauty and faith to prove her love? 20120824.
