From bestselling author Patricia Rice, a classic historical novel: Ohio 1870s: In a society where power is bought and secrets can destroy, one woman must choose between loyalty— and justice.

After years abroad, heiress Georgina Hanover returns home expecting to take her place in wealthy society. Her marriage to handsome, ambitious Peter Mulloney promises not only that but also the powerful alliance her father demands.

Peter's brother, Daniel, is a crusading journalist whose scathing articles challenge the foundation of her family's wealth, while his conviction and fire unsettle everything Georgina thought she knew. As loyalties fracture and danger shadows their town, Georgina must decide whether to cling to the safety of her father's world—or risk everything to stand with the man who speaks the truth.
