Description

Working as a maid in the Deerbourne Inn gives freedom-fighter Sidonie Demers the perfect cover for helping escaping slaves travel farther along the Underground Railroad.

Raised in a state that forbids slavery, he's conflicted about upholding the Fugitive Slave Act but believes in laws and fulfilling his duty. The attraction between Colin and Sidonie is evident and irresistible, but what will happen when their true identities are revealed?

Sidonie Demers worked as a Serving girl and maid in the historic Deerborne Inn. But her passion is her work as a conductor on the underground railroad.
Knowing the dangers, she willingly takes the risk. When a customer she had taken notice of before returns and a spark is there. Will things work out? or will Danger Drive them apart? Where will they end up, perhaps on opposite sides? A great, edge of your seat story!

An excellent addition to the DEERBOURNE INN series from Wild Rose Press. it was interesting seeing the past life of the Inn as brought to life by Ms. Carroll-Bradd. The characters were well rounded and I enjoyed the way their "relationship" grew against the background of the Civil War. All in all, a great addition to this series.

Freedom's Path is the first book I have read in this series. I really liked the characters and the setting. There is a lot of Underground Railroad history in the area where I live. I have always found it fascinating. I would recommend this book.
