About the book
Years ago, David Crighton went missing. Deliberately. He'd walked away from his close-knit family, beautiful home, and a scandal of his own making. Since then he's met Honor Jessop. A spirited woman with more warmth and compassion than he's ever known. But he's told her nothing of his true identity -- or his dark past. Now, though, it's time for Honor to find out the shocking truth. And for the Crighton family to be thrown into turmoil. Because David is finally ready to come home.
