SummaryWhen a misunderstanding lands the pretty indentured
servant in the stocks, Rhys becomes her unlikely savior.
After the grueling ordeal, he tenderly cares for her
bruised body and broken pride. But he longs to do much
more—to satisfy the fire that sparks between them the
moment they are alone, and to claim the woman designed by
providence to be his soul mate and lover.
Joan cannot deny her perilous attraction to the handsome
mason and builder, but her oath to rebuild her broken life
prevents her from accepting the passion waiting for her in
his arms. Rhys speaks of discovering "what might be", but
Joan dare not succumb to his seductive charm. She is
hiding secrets that Rhys must never know, and carrying
wounds that she believes his gentle care cannot heal.
