Unbridled Vengeance

A woman silenced by fear. A man falsely accused of murder. In a world where the past never dies, can Madeleine and Caleb uncover the truth before it's too late?

Rural Sacramento, 1870. Haunted by a violent past, French teacher Madeleine Laurent believes she's found sanctuary in rural California—until her supposedly dead husband resurfaces, shattering her illusion of safety.

Rancher Caleb Stewart dreams of courting his enchanting neighbor but his hopes of a tranquil family life are crushed when he's accused of a vicious double murder. Blackmailed into silence, Madeleine watches in anguish as the honorable Scottish-Spanish horseman is framed for a heinous crime. As a trumped-up case against him grows, Caleb fears losing everything he's fought so hard to build, including his life.

Torn between protecting Caleb and fear for her own life, Madeleine faces an impossible choice. In a world where the past never dies, will she risk her own life by telling what she knows, or stay silent and watch Caleb go to the gallows?

Can Madeleine and Caleb unmask the true culprit and build a new future together? Or will sinister forces tear them apart forever?
