However, when she returns home after her last mission, she finds herself sidelined … and it’s not long before the chilling truth settles upon her. She doesn’t belong in Sheehallion any longer. Nor can she forget the man she left behind in Albia. Meanwhile, her husband, Cailean, is haunted by his own demons. His illustrious career is destroyed, and his brief and disastrous marriage to Bree has forced him to confront the ghosts he's long avoided. But betrayal isn’t enough to keep husband and wife apart—not when Bree makes a decision that propels her on a dangerous journey across the wilds of Albia.
