Ten years after the Civil War, Hayden Sumner is still at war with himself. Haunted by guilt and the ghosts of the past, he refuses to claim the woman he loves, convinced a broken man deserves neither forgiveness nor happiness. Instead, he courts Grace Parish through anonymous letters, pouring onto the page the passion he cannot speak aloud. As Grace falls in love with the mysterious poet, Hayden must decide whether to keep hiding behind his words—or risk everything for the one love that could finally set him free. $2.99 on Kindle.
