Description

A betrothal he did not want. A bargain she cannot refuse

Lillian Hargraves' gift is truly a curse. When she touches someone, she sees their past-not the happy memories, but dark visions. Hidden away for years at a school for 'exceptional' children, Lillian is now of marriageable age and her mother has already picked out the groom. But the thought of enduring someone's touch and the nightmares it will produce is something Lillian is desperate to avoid, especially since her gift is becoming stronger and harder to control. With the wedding looming, she will do anything to escape society and live in seclusion.

Gabriel Ramsey has waited four long years to find a murderer. Now that the war is over, he is released from duty and back in England, determined to capture the man who killed his father. But his mother has other ideas. Insisting Gabriel marry and produce an heir, she pushes him toward a hasty betrothal with Lillian. Gabriel has no interest until he learns of his soon-to-be-wife's strange ability-one that could undoubtedly help him catch the assassin. So, he makes Lillian an offer she cannot refuse: Freedom in exchange for the use of her gift.

As the two work together and grow closer, Lillian is increasingly unwilling to pull Gabriel into her nightmare. Once they discover the killer, can she overcome her fears and accept being loved?
