Title: The traitor's wife
Description: In the harsh wilderness of colonial Massachusetts, Martha Allen works as a servant in her cousin's home, taking charge of the neglected household and locking wills with everyone around her - including a mysterious Welshman who works for the family, a man whose forceful nature matches her own. Thomas Carrier is known throughout New England for his immense strength and height, and as Martha discovers pieces of his past and his role as a soldier in the English Civil War, her fascination with him grows. But in the rugged new world, danger is ever present, near and far, as the threat of an assassin draws close.
