Known as the Somerton heiress, Cameron is wary, because her life has been marred by tragedy. Determined to silence the whispers—and end the nightmares—that haunt her, she must uncover the secrets of her past... And then the heiress meets a stranger. With the air of a hunter, big, hard-looking Hayden Olson moves in next door. Has this man been sent to harm her?

On a mission to clear his father's name, Hayden was once the Somerton gardener's son—and young Cammie's cherished playmate—and now she's the key to the answers he seeks.

But can she trust him with her body and not her heart?

When the hunter and the heiress become uneasy lovers, a dormant evil stirs—one that believes murder is a small price to pay to keep the secrets of the past buried. But whoever is out to harm Cammie hasn't counted on her strength...or Hayden's determination to protect her—at all cost!
