Lyna has been told by a private investigator that, chances are, he lost his life, just as so many others had on the battlefield.  Faced with this harsh reality, Lyna decides she can't possibly stay in Uncle Kit’s home with him gone, nor can she afford to move out on her own. Though it feels like a terrible reason to seek a husband, would it really be much different from the marriages all around her? Before long, she is corresponding with Mr. Adam Conner, who asks for her hand.

With her help, the foal is born and the two lock eyes and have an immediate chemistry.  Soon, however, Lyna learns that Adam isn't who he says he is--at all. Will she be able to forgive him, or will his reasons for keeping her in the dark ruin a beautiful future that lies ahead?
