The Solitary Horseman — Emilie Loring

A SHAWDOWED LOVE...

Anthony Hamilton, the spoiled son of wealthy parents, had been responsible for the accident that killed the son of Claire Grahame, widowed owner of a New England fruit farm. Overwhelmed with remorse, Tony renounced his own ambitions to work for the Grahame family. For ten years, he managed their orchards. Hard work and the knowledge that he was needed and loved called forth the best in Tony. And there was Rose, too.

Rose Grahame returned home to find the man who had killed her brother living in his place. But despite warnings of disaster, she was deeply attracted to the sinister stranger.

A murder in an apple orchard, the threat of a kidnapping, and a secret marriage drew Rose nearer to the dark truth of the past. Only when she knew everything would her heart be free to know a great love.
