Kidnapping...murder...suicide...a ransom note...what a
tragedy for a 10-year-old boy to experience. It's been 28
years since his beloved father's death and Hayden Olson
returns to Oklahoma to clear his father's name.
Cameron (Cammie) and Hayden were childhood playmates. She
was heiress to the Somerton fortune and he was the son of
the estate gardener. When she was six years old, Cammie was
kidnapped and left in a cold, damp cellar. Hayden's father
was found dead in one of the estate guest houses holding a
ransom note, a revolver and $500,000 in cash, only a small
part of the ransom money.
So many things don't make sense. As he's so often done,
Hayden lines up the sequence of events from that horrible
day. He's very good at putting puzzles together. All he has
to do is find the missing pieces.
Cameron isn't the same person since her rescue 28 years
ago. She was so traumatized. Maybe if she can find her end
and her beginning, the whispers will stop...the whispers
that call to her in her sleep...the whispers of her
nightmares.
Hayden and Cameron find a oneness in each other, a sense of
peace, a feeling of belonging. As they uncover secrets long
buried, they know someone is determined to do great harm to
Cameron. Hayden will stop at nothing to keep her safe. He's
found his destiny in her, his soul mate, his heart's desire.

Known as the Somerton heiress, Cameron is wary, because her
life has been marred by tragedy. Determined to silence the
whispers -- and end the nightmares -- that haunt her, she
must uncover the secrets of her past. . . . And then the
heiress meets a stranger. With the air of a hunter, big,
hard-looking Hayden Olson moves in next door. Has this man
been sent to harm her?
On a mission to clear his father's name, Hayden was once
the Somerton gardener's son -- and young Cammie's cherished
playmate -- and now she's the key to the answers he seeks.
But Hayden hadn't expected the heiress's fiery sensuality
or his fascination with her. In his arms, Cameron finds
unexpected safety and a unique challenge. But can she trust
him with her body and not her heart?
When the hunter and the heiress become uneasy lovers, a
dormant evil stirs -- one that believes murder is a small
price to pay to keep the secrets of the past buried. But
whoever is out to harm Cammie hasn't counted on her
strength . . . or Hayden's determination to protect her --
at all cost!
