Summary
In 1907, wealthy, lonely Ralph Truitt advertises for a reliable wife. Catherine Land travels to remote Wisconsin in answer to his call. Although Ralph immediately realizes that Catherine is not who or what he expected, he is charmed by her beauty, and he asks her to go to St. Louis to bring home his son who hates him. Catherine, however, has secrets and dark plans of her own, but nothing will turn out as either of them plans.
Critique
An original, very sensual, and gripping read. This book has it all--love, passion, hate, revenge, poison and plenty of twists, turns, and suspense. Highly recommended.
