Forged by Love - Laura Strickland - Bog

Newly returned home to Lobster Cove from the War Between the States, blacksmith Douglas Grier can't forget the horrors he's witnessed or the beautiful young woman he helped break free from her shackles one dark night after her master's plantation burned. He wishes he had at least asked her name, even though she and her family disappeared into the darkness and Douglas has no expectation of seeing her again. Josie Freeman can't remember the last time she felt safe. Even though she and her family are freed, they're being pursued by slave hunters hired by their former owner. When their ship is damaged on the way to Nova Scotia, Josie is thrown into contact with the one man she never expected...the very man she had wanted to see. But will her past catch up with her before Douglas can free her heart?
