Arabella's Story (Soul Mate #3)
Hilda Lorraine Graff

The 15-year-old daughter of a mulatto slave is raped by the master's 17-year-old son, becoming pregnant with his child. When she dies during childbirth, her fair-skinned baby girl is whisked away and placed for adoption with an unsuspecting white couple in another state.
Growing up in a wealthy home has its advantages, but when the young woman is about to be married, the truth nearly destroys her.
Though convinced she will never love again, the son from a prominent family, proves her wrong. Unfortunately, he has a secret of his own, one so shocking it makes her previous love affair seem 'perfectly respectable' in comparison.
