"I love you madly, my woman, my rebel, my wife." Martha Gracey—curious and tenacious—has secured the attention of Robert Henshaw, a dashing mercantile heir with a dark secret. While struggling to determine her true feelings for Robert, Martha crosses paths with Robert’s cousin, Asa Wyeth. Asa, a lucrative rebel tradesman, is older, wiser, and has returned to Boston with an air of retribution. Martha quickly finds herself drawn to him; he’s handsome, impervious, and sees right through the walls she’s built for Robert. With her growing attraction to Asa Wyeth, and the uncovering of Robert’s devious past, Martha’s attachment to Robert cools—but by then, it’s too late. Robert, the jilted lover, retaliates with a vengeance so great, it changes the course of Martha’s existence. Through trials and mishaps, heartache and growth, Martha must contend with the consequences of her love and her mistakes, and learn from them—before she loses the man she’s given her heart to.
