Everyone’s been taught that thirteen colonies united against the British in the American Revolution ―nothing is ever mentioned of the fourteenth colony, the one that went loyalist, fought against the Revolution, and paid a devastating price: Florida.
Coquina Hard opens amidst the true story of the British military crushing the rebellion of thousands of Catholics who’d been tricked into slavery by a British aristocrat, sailed to Florida, and forced to build a town (New Smyrna, which exists to this day).
One of those enslaved is orphan Toria Brighton who escapes and falls in love with a handsome Georgia patriot who gives her the chance of returning home. Instead, Toria leads her people to freedom (the daring escape is true and well documented historically) while the American Revolution explodes around her.
Coquina Hard is written in the style of sweeping action/adventure/romance epic, set in a time and place most readers have never before encountered.
Sample chapters from some of the author’s other books are included.
