The year is 1816
The year without a summer.
Adam Townsend has made a profession out of hiding his pain. Since his father died when Adam was quite young, he has chosen to keep to himself, knowing that his time on Earth was also limited. The lofty dreams that everyone speaks of so often have never once entered his mind. Instead, the only thing that holds his focus is his ability to make it to the next day, if not the next hour.
Life as a stagecoach driver has been exciting enough for him, with many interesting passengers, including the austere government representative he has driven back and forth to Washington. For years, he has observed him in passing. He has even gone so far as to form a casual relationship with the man he has come to highly respect.
Yet when he is tasked with escorting the man's wife on her first visit to Bedford, Pennsylvania, nothing in all the world could have prepared him for how profoundly his life would change on that journey.
Meanwhile, Sebastian's son, Elijah, has his hands full with two successful businesses and a new visitor who has recently arrived from England. A beautiful woman who has captured his attention like no one else ever has. Extremely guarded, yet also oddly familiar, Elijah discovers she has come to Philadelphia with the sole purpose of seeking help from her middle-aged uncle. The same Uncle William who does not look a day older than he did back in 1793.
Torn now between his fierce devotion to his uncle and feelings he has no idea how to sort out, can Elijah deflect her questions long enough to protect his uncle from discovery, or will Juliana's unexpected secret suddenly force his hand?
Even more importantly, will Adam learn to adapt to the rules of his new life, or will he continue to resort to his own brand of vigilante justice and endanger everyone?
Where exactly do everyone's true loyalties lie?
And how far are they willing to go to protect those they love?
