Damaris Tilghman loses everything when her father gambles away their home and then commits suicide. She is resigned to becoming a servant to a distant relative, but when she receives an unexpected marriage proposal from wealthy planter Matthew Pope, she wagers her future on the outcome. At first, as their love grows, she thinks she has won the toss.

She soon discovers she has a rival in Zoë, who has convinced her fellow slaves that she is a conjure woman, and it is her orders that must be obeyed. Damaris tries to refute her claim, but the slaves believe Zoë’s lies and her so-called spells.

When her husband puts her aside for the beautiful slave, Damaris wonders if he, too, is under Zoë’s spell--and if her love is strong enough to break it.

I was born in New York State, but have lived in North Carolina for the past 30+ years. I enjoy writing stories about women who find the inner strength to overcome whatever life throws at them. The setting may be contemporary, historical or even fantasy, but the theme is the same.

When not writing, I stay busy with my family and volunteering in my church and community. Any spare time is spent reading and I love discovering new authors.
