Summary:
“Right Honorable Miss Adrienne Fairfax was the daughter and only child of Viscount William Fairfax, who, in a time before the revolution, was General George Washington's neighbor and best friend. The Fairfaxes owned all of Northern Neck, and the Viscount did not plan to lose all that income to the shifting tides of a Revolution. Miss Fairfax would marry, and she would marry well to keep her family's property. There was only one catch: the match would not only need to be deemed suitable by her father from across the Atlantic but it would be arranged by General Washington—her guardian in the Viscount and Viscountess' absence.
Lt. Colonel John Laurens was a man several years older than his betrothed: 23 to 17. The match was an ultimatum from his father, the President of the Continental Congress. John wanted to leave his studies in England to fight, and his marriage was the price of his honorary commission.
Adrienne had always been stupidly ambitious, and she would do whatever it takes to get only the best. She had goals to reach. Goals she’d never achieve if she did not jump at every opportunity to fulfill them. This godforsaken winter camp was a sacrifice she must make to have a say in the rest of her life.”
