Forced into marriage with a much older man after her father catches her in the arms of her female lover, Abigail accepts her lot in life in order to save her family. The love of her life is long gone, cast from her life by her selfless decision, and she must accept that the men in her life—her father and now, her husband—are in control and will do with her as they please.
But after an untimely accident, as her husband lies dying, Abigail realizes there might be a glimmer of hope that she could go free. Will she be strong enough to get through all that life is throwing at her and find a way back to the arms of the woman she is yearning for?

Lady Abigail Baxter Worthington, Countess Worthington, stared out the long Gothic windows of the Worthington Estate, which was named Hedgerows for the many beautiful mazes and sculpted figurines about the estate. They had an army of gardeners who kept it trimmed and impeccably beautiful. It was raining, and the water spattered against the double windows in this section of the room that was repeated over and over along the walls. The gray of the day reflected her mood as she watched the sheets of water coming down. She heard a creak upstairs, probably from her husband’s rooms and prayed, not that he would live but that he would die. He needed to be out of the pain she had watched him suffer for weeks now, ever since he had been kicked by one of their horses and the resulting hematoma had spread instead of healing. Ultimately, it had caused a fit of sorts…a stroke. The doctors had bled him, further weakening him and making it difficult for him to heal. He had called his wife to his bed just that morning to talk to her.
“Well, my dear, it is time,” he told her, his voice sounding raspy and weak, almost a whistle in its reedy tenor.
“No, not yet,” she pleaded with him, looking scared. She wasn’t merely scared, she was terrified. During the years of their marriage, he had proven to be her ally, her defense against her father’s irritation over this forced marriage. Lord Worthington had kept her father from bullying her. He had protected her from her father’s anger, blackmail, and his incessant need for monies. She had cheered when Augustus had told him, “No more!” and cut off Lord Baxter and his bottomless pockets.
