Kathleen Donley steps off the train in Poughkeepsie, New
York, with everything she
has left in the world contained in a lone carpetbag, and one
desire burning in her heart. To
find Captain Charles Worthington, the man acquitted of
murdering her brother during a
pitched battle in Indian territory—and put him in a coffin.
Whispers of someone who could possibly aid her quest have
lured her from her Ohio
home, and indeed she finds herself in the lair of one Josiah
Gorman. A man with a card file
bursting with men and women who owe him their souls.
Trembling with fear and determination, Kathleen becomes one
of them.
Josiah sends her forth armed with a silken wardrobe, a new
name, and accompanied
by Edward Allen, a man who guards a secret as deadly as the
debt he owes Josiah. But once
she sets foot on Worthington Estate, nothing is as it seems.
And Kathleen finds herself
facing the prospect of killing a man she doesn’t hate…and
falling for another man who is
forbidden to love.
