Beneath the Blackberry Moon Part 3: the Ebony Cloak

In 1816 Florida, freedom is a dangerous dream, and love might cost more than life itself. Milly has never known true liberty. She was born into slavery but can pass for white… so long as she keeps her head down and her hood up. When a cruel task master pushes her too far, Milly escapes, seeking refuge in a hidden stronghold deep in the wilds of the Floridas. Negro Fort. An outpost of runaways. A chance at freedom. But the U.S. Army is closing in—and with it, a storm Milly cannot outrun. Major Phillip Bailey has his orders. Suppress the uprising. Destroy the fort. Return every runaway to their master. But the mission forces him to march beside Creek warriors—the same who burned his past to ashes and carved his hatred into scars. He came for duty. He didn’t expect the Creek warriors... or Milly. Now, as musket balls fly and allegiances shift, Phillip faces a war within, a fight between loyalty and conviction, between the world he’s sworn to serve and the woman he cannot forget. In a land where every step is watched, how do you choose between what you were taught… and what you believe?
