Abstract:
A secret past agonizes Abigail. A four-year-old waif is brought to the hospital with an injury. When Abigail discovers that the child lives in the house of the town drunk, she vows to help her. Then her heart becomes more involved than she’d planned.

Her romance with Hunter deepens. Still her secret torment agonizes her. Could he understand what she’d done? Does Granny Hayden hold the key to unlock Abigail’s emotional prison? How can Abigail get the selfish and controlling old woman to reveal the truth? But if Granny spills what she knows, what trickery may be brought to light?
