About the Book
Her husband returns from war victorious… but something about him isn’t right.
Esme dreads her husband’s return. Married only six months, she has already learned to fear Lord Torrance of Clan Glencairn. Cold, calculating, and obsessed with producing an heir, he made it clear she had one duty—to bear his child. When she failed to do so quickly enough, his anger grew sharp, his temper cruel. If she could flee, she would—but there is nowhere he wouldn’t hunt her down. Torrance would never suffer such a humiliation. He would make her pay.
Now, word comes that he is returning home—victorious in battle against Clan MacLeish, their fierce rivalry at last silenced with the downfall of Chieftain Ryland. But with his return comes something far more unsettling than the threat of renewed cruelty. There is something different about him. Subtle shifts. Small things. A glance that lingers too long. A touch too unfamiliar. A man who looks like her husband… but isn’t quite the same.
Confused, uncertain, and curious, Esme begins to question everything. What truly happened on that battlefield? Did her husband walk away the victor—or did someone else take his place?
Torrance harbors a deep secret of betrayal and vengeance. The vengeance he hopes to have against his enemy is beginning to taste bittersweet and may cause him to lose more than he hoped to gain.
When vengeance burns hot and love dares rise from its ashes, who will claim the final victory?
