A Daring Proposal
Miller Mackintosh, back from war and a brutal captivity among the Shawanese, is broken in body and spirit. A promise to a dead man holds him in the grip of silence, and the need to right wrongs calls him once again into the war-torn backcountry. But first, he offers Elizabeth McQueen a daring proposal. Will she accept his offer? Or will she choose another path?

A Lasting Betrayal
Elizabeth McQueen has waited two years for Miller Mackintosh to return home. But when he comes, his silence is louder than his answers. When binding secrets harbored by the dead threaten her family, she considers a liaison with an old and untrustworthy friend. Or should she trust another whose betrayal may be lasting and forever?

A Dark and Bloody Land
The backcountry swallows men whole. It takes husbands from wives and fathers from children, and it hides its secrets deep beneath its dark and bloody soil. But the mountains bury not their dead and the trees have ears, and nothing is hidden forever.
