Wealthy, 1908 Charleston socialite Catherine Randolph enjoys her languid South Carolina way of life until family greed crafts a treacherous plan to have her kidnapped. Narrowly escaping the sly plan, Catherine must find sanctuary in the swamps to the north. Can she find friends to help her survive, allies to return her to Charleston, and wise council for revenge? Lord Trevor Coffman hunts for an heiress bride to save his entailed and neglected estate in England. Leaving two younger brothers behind, Trevor nervously travels by train from Boston to the southeastern American swamps with his future brother-in-law to an elitist hunting camp. There he meets the Garrets and their strangely polished and beautifully brave assistant. Can Trevor save his family, discover the truth about his fiancee's brother, and learn to help himself by giving to others?"
