Coulter Bancroft returns from battle seeking the peace of his family
farm. Instead he finds chaos: his stepmother dead, his father dying and
his fiancée married to another man. His pain reaches a new level when he
learns his father’s will demands a legitimate heir by Coulter’s 30th
birthday to keep his inheritance—and guardianship of his teenage
half-sister.
Amelia Strong has her own secrets to keep. When Coulter takes her in
after she collapses in front of his horse, bruised, sick and frail,
Amelia can’t imagine that within a few weeks, she’ll offer to marry him
and give him that heir if he will divorce her and set her up to begin a
new life after the child is born.
What neither of them realizes is that
Amelia’s beloved, listed among the war’s casualties, is actually alive
and going mad. When he spots Coulter and Amelia in Cincinnati on their
honeymoon and begins to stalk the Bancroft family, the result is a
suspenseful game of cat-and-mouse game that can only end in death.
