Publisher's Synopsis
Ambrose and Lucy Quince struggle through eight years of marriage endlessly mired in discord. After they've shared too many of their disagreements publicly, when Lucy mysteriously disappears in 1874, folks assume she either ran off with another man, or her husband killed her. Three years later, scarred in mind and body, Lucy returns to Eclipse in time to save Ambrose from hanging for her murder. She can't remember him, the life they once had, or the terrible event that tore her from her family. But she plans to find out what happened to her, with or without the help of the snarling, lustful man she apparently once wed. Although Lucy's lost her memories, Ambrose hasn't forgotten a damned thing. The woman who once promised to love, honor, and obey, left him instead. He owes her nothing. Trouble is-his heart reminds him of a cold, hard fact. Lucy's the only woman he'll ever love and he wants her to love him too.
