Against the Wind Book

Leslie is on the run from a man out to ruin her. Her former boss raped her, and has recently gotten out of prison. He has sworn revenge, and she is drifting from place to place, trying to find a place of refuge where she can finish her MBA. Nearly penniless, she arrives at a farm owned by Jordan, a wealthy, white businessman. He gives her a job helping in the kitchen. Jordan and Leslie are smitten with each other, but must overcome both Leslie's past and racial barriers in order to make their love work. As they fumble towards romantic involvement, suspicious characters show up and begin asking questions around town, and someone tries to break into Leslie's apartment. The terror and stress nearly drive Jordan and Leslie apart, but in the end their love triumphs.
