Lady Scarlett Crest won’t marry the earl her father has selected for her.
While the young man is wealthy and well-connected, Scarlett’s heart belongs to another. The only man she has ever loved—the stable boy her new fiancé callously murdered deep in the Whispering Woods. If her father expects her to make it down the aisle and into her wedding bed beside her lover’s killer, he has another thing coming. They all do.
Before she can get her revenge, Scarlett’s wedding day is interrupted by a most unusual guest. The Headless Horseman of Broken Cliff barely remembers himself. Driven only by the determination to find and kill the ones who cursed him, he has no time for a prisoner. Yet, Scarlett is different than the others he seeks to destroy. Her betrayal cut him the deepest, and now she will pay for it—with her life.
Captured by a creature that she once believed to be only an old wives’ tale, Scarlett quickly realizes not everything is what it seems. As memories of the past replay with shocking clarity, she learns just how much of her family’s legacy is paved with blood. Once the true identity of the Headless Horseman is revealed, she is torn between hope and despair. Can she rebuild their trust and take down those responsible for cutting their future short? Or will those who sought to separate them forever prevail? Can two hearts that used to beat as one survive death and be rejoined before it’s too late?
