Salem, 1692
The moment he
steps off the boat and into his hometown of Salem, Nathanial Abbot knows the
rumors about Salem are indeed true. For in the two years since he's left
Salem—disowned by his family and seeking a fortune of his own—the town has
changed. It is dark with discord and suspicion... and accusations of
witchcraft. Now all that remains for him is the woman he's never forgotten.
But Faith
Downing isn't happy to see Nathanial. In his absence, his younger sisters have
ignited the chain of hysteria that resulted in twenty deaths—including Faith's
aunt, to whom Nathanial owed his life. Yet through her acrimony, Faith can't
prevent herself from responding to the man Nathanial has become, handsome and
kind. A man who kindles something in her that speaks of sin.

“Tell me,” he said, his
voice coarse to his own ears. “Tell me how I dishonor a woman when I chose to
forsake my own family to pay my respects.”
The look of utter disdain
she passed him was somewhat lost by their proximity. They were trading breaths
now, as close as lovers. But their positions could not douse the venom in her
tone. “You have hardly forsaken your family,” she spat. “Not unless you’ve
pushed them piecemeal into the harbor, which is an event I dare say few would
mourn. Do they not await your return, alive and well? That is more than anyone
can say for my aunt and the remaining nineteen murdered…or the rest who died
awaiting trial.”
Mid diatribe, her attention
had fallen to his lips. He touched her chin, knowing that in doing so he risked
the welfare of his finger, and didn’t speak until her liquid gaze found his. “I
crossed the ocean and I came here first,” he said. Quietly. Fiercely. “Tell me
what more I could have done.”
“You could have been here.
You could have stopped them.” A single, heart-wrenching sob escaped from her
throat. “You could have saved her.”
Sarah and her husband of
what he calls “many long, long years” live on the mid-Atlantic coast with their
six young children, all of whom are perfectly adorable when they’re asleep. She
never dreamed of becoming an author, but as a homeschooling mom she often jokes
she writes fiction because if she wants anyone to listen to her, she has to
make them up. (As it turns out, her characters aren’t much better than the
kids.) When not buried under piles of laundry, she may be found adrift in the
Atlantic (preferably on a boat) or in search of that ever-elusive perfect
writing spot where not even the kids can find her. To learn more about her work in contemporary,
historical, and supernatural romance and romantic suspense, please stalk
accordingly.
