Secrets of the Heart — Vickie McDonough

Preparing for an arranged marriage to Jamie Reed, the heir to the neighboring plantation, Hannah Madison know her life is well ordered and safe. But that is before she first stumbles upon a seriously injured stranger in the Reeds' barn---before she is threatened by men determined to take the stranger into custody.

Hannah names the stranger Adam. Will he ever remember his identity? What caused him to be horribly beaten? And why does he have a sense of urgency about unfinished tasks?

When the truth does become clear, will Hannah be able to keep these secrets close to her heart and trust the Lord to bring what is best for all those she loves? Or will the sacrifice she is called to make become too great a burden to bear?
