"Eliza Gillingham knew what no one else in the world did."
Eliza Gillingham had been hidden away deep into the forest since she was five years old, living with an old seaman aptly known as "Captain", the only true father she could recollect; the remainder of her childhood memories were collected in nightmares. Only now, fourteen years later, Felton Northwood was determined to bring the truth into the light, determined to clear his father's name once and for all of having any part in Lady Gillingham's brutal murder, the one which many believed her young daughter had witnessed.
When Felton arrives to forcibly retrieve Eliza, he is met with fierce resistance from the lovely young woodland creature. What Felton didn't anticipate was that bringing Eliza home to Monbury Manor would put her life in extreme danger, along with his heart and reputation . . . again.
Captivating!

The nightmares may free her … but destroy the man she loves.
Enjoy another Gothic Style Regency from Hannah Linder.
Eliza Ellis has stayed hidden in Balfour Forest for as long as she can
remember. Perhaps her only friends are the trees, or her little dog, or
her story-telling father called Captain. But at least she is safe from
the cruel world outside, a world Captain has warned her against and
protected her from.
That is, until a handsome stranger named Felton Northwood invades her
quiet forest and steals her away. Why does he tell such lies? Why does
he insist that her name is Miss Eliza Gillingham, daughter of a
viscount, who disappeared fourteen years ago after the murder of her own
mother? A murder Eliza is said to have witnessed.
When Felton returns Eliza to Monbury Manor and reunites her with a man
who is told to be her father, all she remembers are the strange
nightmares that have plagued her since childhood. Why have they suddenly
grown worse? Are the answers hidden inside her own mind?
As danger mounts and lethal attempts are made on her life, Eliza and
Felton must work together to uncover the identity of a killer who has
stayed silent for fourteen years. When she finally uncovers the
horrendous memories trapped in her mind, will divulging the
truth cost her the man she loves--and both of their lives?
