As Patrick Henry and other revolutionaries rouse the colonies into war against England, a similar battle wages in the Hempleman household. George longs to fight for his country but his wife, Margarette, sees enough turmoil and bloodshed. What she doesn't realize is that George's brother, Siegfried, his half-sister, Bertha, and even her own brother, Anthony, are already involved in the war efforts. Siegfried and Anthony are conscripted from the Hessian army to fight for the British army, and Bertha is charmed by a dangerous British officer. All of them pursue different paths. Will the war divide the Hemplemans' home? Or will they be able to stand together during this Honorable revolution?
An arranged marriage, contracted when the groom was just a boy. A missing necklace, causing an innocent lass to be outcast by her family. And a love worthy of sacrifice. These elements begin the story of George Hempleman and Margarette Duffy, 'star-crossed lovers' fighting for their right to love in eighteenth-century Hessen-Cassel, a German state south of Prussia. But when George's intentions are questioned, and Margarette's honor is suspect, will they find the strength to uphold their Honorable Deception?
Sold on the block as indentured servants during a January snowstorm in 1752, George Hempleman and Margarette Duffy must carve out their separate existence, she on a Richmond tobacco plantation and he in the cotton fields of South Carolina.

Will they survive the back-breaking toil, the scant meals, the deplorable living conditions, and the uncertainty of a thousand tomorrows? Befriending black slaves widens their horizons and strengthens their determination. A thrilling escape plan unfolds as 1755 draws to a close. Meanwhile, George II of England and George Washington of colonial America move the pawns of the chessboard, leading to checkmate! Wait a minute--who is that wearing the Hempleman emerald necklace heirloom around her lovely neck?
