1768, Maine.
In a time when women are considered property and have no money or assets of their own, young, vulnerable Ashley Hatch is forced to leave the only home she’s ever known in England and travel to Maine in the Americas to marry her late father’s partner if she wishes to inherit a dowry, half ownership of a logging company, WOODLAND. Never having met her parents, Ashley struggles to come to grips with this new bit of betrayal since her father’s Will won’t allow her to wed her current fiancé. More importantly, her betrothed won’t marry her without a dowry.
Owning the other half of WOODLAND, Aaron Chatwell chaffs that he must wed his late partner’s daughter if he wishes to keep control of the business. To make matters worse, the Will states they must live together under the same roof for a year. If at the end of that period Aaron and Ashley have not consummated their vows, they may dissolve their marriage. Aaron is then free to buy out Ashley’s interest in the business and they’re free to go their separate way.
From the beginning, their relationship is tested. Desires and attraction run deep. Superstitious loggers resent Ashley as half owner, and of a female even being present. Then accidents begin happening regularly, making tensions worse.
Can they find a common ground? Do they want their marriage to endure? Are superstitions true or are there more sinister forces at play? Will past relationships destroy them? Will love win out? An emotional story that will keep you guessing until the surprise ending….
