Brought up amid the luxury of plantation life, Marianne Johnston never questions her sheltered life until, driven by her conscience, she joins the Underground Railroad. Soon Marianne is living a dangerous double life, helping slaves flee by night and acting the belle by day. And nothing is riskier than her attraction to wild, heartless young Southerner Yves Chamard - while being courted by his noble older brother.

Bull Mason has built a life far away from his service in the Union Army and the ravages of the Civil War. He’s achieved his dreams - loyal friends, work he enjoys, a home of his own, and a promise from the woman he loves to become his wife. Lydia Rinehart can’t believe how much her life has changed. Escaping captivity from a Crow village, she finds refuge and a home at the sprawling Redemption’s Edge ranch...and love in the arms of Bull Mason, the ranch foreman. For the first time since her parents’ death, she feels cherished and safe.
