Dorset, Maine, 1896 Charlotte Backus has forgotten everything--even her name. Plunged into the life she's forgotten, she's surrounded by strangers who treat her with familiarity. Maurice Westham is a handsome young lawyer and Charlotte's fiance. He makes her uneasy and it's more than the idea of marrying a man who is a stranger to her. Gideon Lyons is her deceased father's protege. Blinded in the accident that killed her father, Gideon and she have a long standing enmity, she's told. Her heart disagrees. Nobody, not even her dearest friend Elizabeth, is telling her the whole truth. But it isn't easy to find the truth when it looks like the accident that stole her memories is just the first in a series of attempts on her life.
