Publisher's summary

Mary Bingham had failed her father many times, but she never imagined he would force her to marry a total stranger.

Escape into the vast plains of Iowa, 1878….

When Mary carelessly burns down the family home, seriously injuring her littlest sister, the consequences are dire. Her Pa no longer trusts her with his two younger daughters. Mary is devastated when he takes her directly to the church and marries her off to a boy she barely knows.

Carrying a burden of guilt, Mary is not surprised that her father doesn’t want her anymore, but she is unable to handle the sorrow and shame. So, she covers it all with anger towards her new husband, whether he deserves it or not.

Nathaniel Hanson had been drawn to Mary since the first time he laid eyes on her. For two years she had been his dream girl, but he shouldn’t have let that attraction blind him. When his old friend asked him to marry his daughter or she’d be turned out into the streets, Nathaniel couldn’t refuse. He only wanted to help the girl he cared so much about, but agreeing to marry her against her will was a terrible mistake. He had broken her heart. All he’d ever wanted was her love and now that might never be possible.

Can Mary and Nathaniel somehow find their way? Together? Or will Nathaniel’s mistake, and the secret darkness of Mary’s past, destroy them both?
