And on the same earth-shattering night, a sinister crime left a prominent Whitehorn citizen dead. When Emma was arrested for murder, her passionate liaison proved a flimsy alibi. Though Brandon proclaimed her innocence with warrior fierceness, he did so out of duty -- not love. For this wounded heir kept his heart sequestered...just as Emma kept certain secrets -- like her birth mother's identity -- under lock and key. Could destined love set them both free?
