THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
New York Times bestselling author Eugenia Price captivates audiences in this acclaimed first novel of the Savannah Quartet-an intimate portrait of desire and devotion in nineteenth-century Georgia.

The first is Eliza McQueen Mackay, his mentor's beautiful wife, whom Mark loves with a deep, pure love that can never be spoken. The other is lovely young Caroline Cameron, whose life is blighted by a secret that has tormented her grandparents for half a century?a secret that affects Mark more closely than he imagines. Desiring one woman, loved by another, Mark must confront the ghosts of a previous generation, and face the evil smoldering hate, before he can truly call Savannah his home.
