RONE Award Nominee - Chatelaine Award Finalist - Readers' Favorite Five-Star Review

In 1800 Boston, a chance meeting in a quiet cemetery brings together two hearts marked by loss. Edward Wyllie, crushed by guilt over his family's deaths, cannot face their gravestones. Dora Tudor, a young widow longing for a second chance, offers him unexpected comfort-and the first spark of hope.

About the Story
As their friendship deepens, Dora helps Edward confront the truth he has avoided: he was not to blame. Edward awakens in Dora a passion she thought gone forever. Their whirlwind courtship promises healing and joy-until a family crisis erupts.

Edward's brother, Captain Sam Wyllie arrives in Boston with his wife, Catherine, Dora's childhood friend. Catherine's wealthy parents reject Sam's frontier ways and even their infant grandson. As tensions rise, Edward becomes determined to protect Sam from Remington Forbes and the ruthless men under his command.

When danger follows the Wyllies to New Hampshire, events spiral beyond Edward's control. A shocking betrayal threatens everything he holds dear, and Edward and Dora must face a painful truth: sometimes the greatest threat comes from within one's own family.

Can their newfound love survive the storm of greed, pride, and peril?
And will Edward finally discover that the true beauty of love is its power to heal?
