Boston Massachusetts, 1851
Katie Wilcox arrives from England in search of new beginnings and a fresh start. But when she discovers that the life of a nurse is more difficult than she had presumed, she must face the realization that many of her troubles, both past and present, have been caused by her own sharp tongue and selfish nature.
The affable Conner Boyd is selfless and kindhearted. He often spreads himself too thin, helping those around him and sacrificing his own happiness in the process. The last person he expected to confide in was the prickly Katie Wilcox, whom he vowed to protect at the request of her sister, Mary. Yet, as Conner and Katie’s unexpected friendship deepens, the darkest of Conner’s secrets risk tumbling into the light.
Now, Conner’s secrets are the very things that put Katie in danger. He must find a way to be honest with both his family and himself, lest he lose all hope of happiness.
