Passionately in love, Keenan and Gwendolyn Murphy carve a life in the wilds of Kentucky until the arrival of Gwen’s grandmother, Lady Suffox, drives Keenan from the homestead and sets him on an adventure to prove his worth.
Lady Gwendolyn Suffox traveled from London with one object in mind: the removal of her granddaughter and namesake from the clutches of the man who debauched her and now claims her as wife. What she finds does nothing to reassure her. Although Gwen Murphy is the possessor of a fortune, she is subsisting in the wilderness, ground down by illness and the rigors of frontier life. Using his love for Gwen as a weapon, Lady Suffox manipulates Keenan into leaving.
Faced with incredible danger, Keenan’s journey down the Ohio River will bring him face to face with the demons from his past and the horrors of war. Frail and devastated by her husband’s desertion, Gwen accompanies her grandmother to Philadelphia, where an unexpected danger lies in wait to destroy her. Will Lady Suffox’s wealth save her from a powerful family bent on revenge, will Keenan return to her, or will David Thackeray, butler to her ladyship and a man plagued by his own regrets for deeds left undone, find a way to save them all?
