A family inheritance, a forbidden love, and a faceless enemy—can Beth endure it all?

Lost at sea along with her parents as a young child, Beth Worthington shouldn't have survived. Years later, she is returning to her family estate to claim her inheritance only to be appalled to discover what awaits her—a crumbling home, hostile people, and a violent uprising fomenting in the countryside.

Beth already cheated death once, but she knows with a sudden certainty that her life is once more at risk. Someone is trying to kill her. And number one on the list of suspects is the man she is beginning to fall in love with—her own brother!
