Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When a ship of "maidens for wives" anchors at Jamestown, Captain Ralph Percy chooses a quiet Puritan girl-so he thinks. Jocelyn Leigh is in truth the ward of King James, escaping a marriage to the ruthless Lord Carnal. What begins as a bargain becomes a gauntlet: duels in moonlit clearings, escapes by river, pirates and plots, and a governor's justice that cuts both ways. Set across 1621-1622, the novel threads its romance through authentic colonial events and places, bringing to life the precarious English foothold in America.A landmark bestseller, To Have and to Hold offers more than thrills: it cultivates admiration for courage, constancy, and self-mastery, while opening a window onto the perils and hope of America's earliest settlers.
