Book excerpt: Handsome riverboat captain Ashton Wingate is startled when a cloaked figure on horseback hurtles out of the night, collides with his coach, and is stricken unconscious. Ashton rushes to aid the victim and, when he draws back the hood, is stunned to find it is Lierin, his young wife who had been presumed dead after she was flung overboard during a pirate attack three years before. Joyously he carries her home to his family's Mississippi plantation, only to discover her most alarming injury: the complete loss of her memory. Under Ashton's gentle care her body regains its strength, but her mind remains confused and unsure of her identity. If she truly is Lierin, then where had she been those three long years of Ashton's mourning? How did she come to be riding in the night, wearing only a scanty nightgown under her cloak?
