April 6th, a day that will live in infamy in East Void, Massachusetts, the day that Miss Agnes Bloch - heir to the Mail Pouch Tobacco fortune - disappears without a trace.
Taken. Tortured. Ruined.
Put through the unspeakable.
No ransom requested.
No chance of escaping.
But when all hope dies and Agnes' fire fades out, Isaac Bounder, the man behind it all, releases her, the very thing he loved about her gone.
March 3rd, just short of the one year anniversary, Agnes finds herself on the outskirts of town naked, shivering and adorned with scars, bruises and a fear that is all too real.
Now faced with the crippling reality of what she's been through, Agnes must also reincorporate herself back into society, and back into her family. But after nearly a year of being held captive, perhaps death would have been the more favorable route.
Guilt, fear, anxiety, and young love are all ingredients of a recipe for disaster, and for young Agnes' life.
With the man behind her disappearance still on the run, and a heart that is afraid to beat, what is the worst that could happen?
As Dallas and Drayton navigate life in the spotlight, Spencer is navigating intense feelings for Nathan - her best friend's brother.
