Publisher's Synopsis
Knowing he was about to die, Sarah Anne's beloved father had arranged for her to marry Alexander Swyndhurst II. Alexander, a recent widower, had no intention of taking another wife; but after learning the young woman's situation-that she had been the object of at least one man's unwanted attentions, and that she would soon be left alone and unprotected-he had agreed to the marriage. He had one stipulation, however: He and Sarah Anne would live separately-he in Bristol, England, and she in Amesbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Sarah Anne had agreed wholeheartedly with this arrangement. Will Alexander have a change of heart? What of the dangerous man from her past? What will happen while her husband is away-leaving her alone with only the servants? Even though there are connections, each novel in the series may be read as a stand-alone.
