Unless A Love Be Free is the tale of two people, prisoners of their pasts, who share a dream of freedom. When they meet, each believes freedom is to be found somewhere other than where they are.

McKenzie Campbell has vowed never to love again. She tries not to remember what she once believed about love, the feel of a man’s arms around her or the passion in a kiss.

Garrick Stuart has a reputation of cunning and ruthless disregard for the law. Arriving on George Island as shackled prisoner, Garrick believes all is lost. George Island has a reputation as well. No one has ever escaped.

As their stories unwind and combine, curiosity leads to a fragile bond of trust, both begin to understand that what they seek is within them, built on a foundation of honesty, nurtured by love. Their odyssey begins in the confines of an island prison and climaxes on the vast reaches of the open sea, a metaphor for the journey of their hearts.
