Showing Beholden by Bronwyn Williams

BEHOLDEN
Historical Romance * American setting * late 1800's
The orphaned O'Sullivan sisters, lovely Kathleen and young Tara, journey from Ireland to a small southern town to meet the man their father had died trying to save. The man who had sent them a large sum of money, never intending it for an invitation. Galen McKnight, stern-faced captain of a riverside gambling ship, is totally unprepared for the arrival of Kate and the pride that, aside from a box of encyclopedias, is all she has left, and Tara with her unreliable gift of second sight. These three, plus a wonderfully diverse cast of characters, bring this story alive with comedy, mystery and romance.

Sisters Dixie Browning and Mary Williams, aka Bronwyn Williams, are steeped in the history of the area. Their family goes back on Cape Hatteras and surrounding area for more than three centuries.
