Returning home after several days of pre-nuptial carousing, he falls from his horse and badly injures his head. His life is saved by a mysterious woman who fascinates and enthrals him: Athena Defoe, who, along with her young twin sisters, is hiding from her past in a tumbledown cottage on Eli's estate. Can Eli help his new love escape her pursuers before it is too late?
