When a misunderstanding lands the pretty indentured servant in the stocks,
Rhys becomes her unlikely savior. After the grueling ordeal, he tenderly
cares for her bruised body and broken pride. But he longs to do much
more-- to satisfy the fire that sparks between them the moment they are
alone, and to claim the woman designed by providence to be his soul mate
and lover.
Joan cannot deny her perilous attraction to the handsome mason and
builder, but her oath to rebuild her broken life prevents her from
accepting the passion waiting for her in his arms. Rhys speaks of
discovering "what might be", but Joan dare not succumb to his seductive
charm. She is hiding secrets that Rhys must never know, and carrying
wounds that she believes his gentle care cannot heal.
