About this listen

 Robert Goolrick's riveting debut novel is both foreboding and sensual. When a wealthy man first meets his mail-order bride in 1907, he realizes this statuesque beauty is anything but a "simple missionary's daughter." But he doesn't know of her devious plan to leave Wisconsin as a rich widow. Nor does she know of the furious demons he longs to unleash during the lonely months of snowbound isolation.©2009 Robert Goolrick (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Historical Fiction Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Exciting
