A mysterious contract, made long ago, between their two fathers led Carolina to Milton's doorstep.

Milton, at the ripe old age of twenty-five, decided he needed a wife. But a wife on his own terms. Not one dictated by his father.

Carolina, tired of her father's constant badgering, relented and traveled north merely to appease him. An interminable trip that she instantly regretted.

While sorting out the mystery of the contract, will what they discover link them together as their fathers planned or just push them apart?

A spellbinding historical romance set in the early 1830s — before the south was devastated by a war that tore the country apart.
