William Caverly can't seem to understand the unsettling feeling that has been nagging him for far too long.
Memories of a baby sister are forever haunting his waking hours, and as he sleeps at night, he is repeatedly awakened by nightmares, confusing ones that he'd rather forget.
He had been told that his baby sister died. He had seen her little body laid to rest beside their mother. But that didn't explain the dim remembrance that he had of an event that happened not too long after that.
Charlotte Porter's days are full and busy as she diligently teaches her young art students at her mother's boarding school, and tries desperately to stay away from an annoying suitor.
Painting has been her passion and dream ever since she could hold a brush, but lately she has begun to question her mission and calling in life.
What is her real purpose? And why does she know so little about her father, who supposedly died before she was born?
William thinks he's discovered the hidden link that has kept him from his sister for over fifteen years.
But then she's kid-napped, leaving William no choice except to find her and get her back.
