Tobacco brides--women prisoners shipped from England--are a hot commodity with farmers in 1643 Virginia. Drew isn't concerned about marriage--he just wants a servant to keep his house. Yet fate brings him to Constance, who claims to be a noblewoman kidnapped aboard ship. Constance is everything Drew despises in a wife--she cannot cook and she prefers mathematical equations to cleaning. Worst of all, she has red hair! But when the two are forced to marry, Constance's more enticing traits surface.
