Can a haunted past make amends with the present? Lucy is her own worst enemy. She loves her husband, Frederick, and longs to be a good mother to their daughter, Phoebe, but her heart aches for her true love who died years before. In the books she writes of love and loss, she envisions herself back in Alexander Melling's arms, reveling in the second chance she thought fate too cruel to allow them. As Lucy flounders, the family hires a young aid for her to lean on. Darla Beauchamp is eager to please her new employers, and quickly takes to juggling Phoebe's care with that of a very pregnant Lucy. But when she discovers her younger cousin has become the object of desire for a traveling violinist, a fire ignites within her to protect what little family she has left. Both women find their lives part of an intricately interlaced tapestry, one that will unravel all that they have worked for with the smallest snag. This character-driven saga is a haunting look into the tumultuous secrets families bury deep. Find "Safe Embrace", a Fortitude/Possession Chronicles short story, included as a bonus to this new edition.
