An untimely tempest transports two miserable and lost souls to England's Abbey Wood where they stumble across each other's paths. Lady Jane, a battered woman and accused murderess-Laird Alexander, fleeing his keep after blaming himself for the accidental death of his wife.
Both souls must heal their wounds. Both souls have reason to keep their identities hidden. This misshapen pair discovers each needs the other-though neither is willing to admit dependence.
Alexander must return to his kin and resume his laird's mantle. Lady Jane must clear her name and find forgiveness. But before healing can begin, it is essential they learn to trust...and love.
