A woman with no name and no memory...The two men who claim her: one with love, the other with fear...A dazzling tale of secret passions—and a love tragically lost and miraculously reborn—by the incomparable storyteller. Mere days after Ashton Wingate's wedding to the enchanting Lierin, capricious Fate stole the Mississippi plantation owner's beloved from him. Now, three years later, his carriage has collided with a cloaked rider on horseback: a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to the young bride who was swallowed up by the merciless river. She awakens from unconsciousness in his magnificent home with no memory of who she is. Yet the tenderness of this noble, caring stranger who lovingly calls her "Lierin" soon captures her heart and enflames her with wanting. Then another enters their lives, threatening to destroy the happiness they have rediscovered in each other's arms—the dark and dangerous Malcolm Sinclair, who claims the enigmatic beauty is, in fact, his own wife, Lenore. But Ashton has sworn that he will not lose his adored one a second time, and he will risk any peril to preserve their newfound joy—no matter what the unremembered secrets of his lady's past ultimately reveal.

Handsome riverboat captain Ashton Wingate is startled when a cloaked figure on horseback hurtles out of the night, collides with his coach, and is stricken unconscious.

Orphaned during the Civil War, she was raised by a Methodist woman, and she has been using a connection of churches to find work on each leg of her journey westward. After finding employment with a family near Denver, she is abducted by two men who are certain she is their boss's wife, missing since spring. After a lengthy ride to the ranch, she expects Sloan Rafferty to recognize she is not his wife. Only, he seems convinced she is after he learns she and his wife grew up in the same valley. Sloan promises to send her home after she reveals what she did with the stallion he believes she stole. She, of course, cannot, so she is stuck in this remote, Colorado mountain valley. Her only ally is the daughter of his housekeeper. Others judge her for the sins of his hated wife. Little by little, she unwinds the secrets that intertwine her life with Sloan's wife, each twist putting her in greater peril. Escalating "accidents" make it clear that someone wants her dead. When one of these endangers the child, she loses that connection. After Sloan's brother arrives at the ranch, he reveals the truth of what happened to Sloan's wife. Only, it's too late because Sloan's actions have put her in the most terrible danger ... and he has come to love a stranger"--
