She vowed revenge.
He sought redemption.
Neither expected love.Iris Gregory thought she knew what she wanted: to make the brooding stranger at the farm smile. Jericho Easton, with his tousled hair and haunted eyes, was a puzzle she longed to solve. But Jericho carried scars too deep to share--scars carved by violence, loss, and the murder of his father. He came seeking peace, not laughter. . .and certainly not love.
When Jericho's quest for vengeance shatters Iris' world, tragedy sweeps through the farm, leaving her imprisoned in a workhouse--hungry, alone, and betrayed. To make amends, Jericho rescues her and binds her to him in marriage. Yet their union is built on resentment and broken trust. Iris vows to make him suffer, while Jericho longs to restore her joy.
As affection slowly blooms in the ashes of betrayal, a darker threat rises, forcing Jericho to face the ultimate sacrifice. Can love survive when born of hatred, or will secrets destroy them both before their hearts have a chance to heal?
