When a drunk driver rear-ends her with his truck, Madeline Archer suddenly finds herself standing beside her car, gazing through the shattered window at her own body, battered and bloody, thrown against the steering wheel. A blinding white light beckons, the kind thatr leads souls to heaven, but she sees another option and prays it isn't a doorway to hell.
Madeline awakes in 1892 and finds herself married to a stranger she thinks is the most interesting man she has ever met, but who seems to hate her. Even worse, she, or the woman who used to be in her body, was the victim of a botched murder attempt. Who wants her dead? Why? And when will he try again?
