Excerpt.
Millicent had
tossed and turned for hours, unable to go to sleep. How could she sleep when
Barnaby had disappeared? How could she sleep when she didn’t know if he was
safe, or lying dead somewhere in the dark?
She held her
breath again and listened. Not a sound except the constant settling of a house
several hundred years old. She listened again, then threw her covers back and
got to her feet.
She refused to
open the door and look down the hall. She would not give in to the impulse to

choicest moments ripped Millicent’s heart from her breast.
And perhaps most
painful of all was the loss of her brother. She and Thomas had always been close.
No doubt because it had just been the two of them for so long before Polly was
born. Or maybe because he had always looked out for her—always been there when
