Years before, love-struck Reese departed his home at
Briarwood with a promise from raven-haired Elizabeth
Clemmens: that she would make a life with him upon his
return. But mere months later, she married the Earl of
Alderidge, attaining wealth and status Reese could never
match. Memories of that betrayal make his homecoming far
more bitter than sweet.
Elizabeth knows when she appears on Reese's doorstep dressed
in widow's garb that she is twisting the knife. But fear for
her young son's safety has overcome guilt and shame: she
begs Reese for protection against the forces that would see
the boy Earl dead to posses his fortune. The former overs
forge an uneasy alliance, but Elizabeth still harbors some
deep secrets -- and Reese know that protecting her mean
placing himself in danger... of losing his heart all over
again.
