“Alyssa, stop torturing yourself.”
Alyssa looked up at her mother’s portrait. “She was so beautiful,” she said. “So beautiful and so cold.”
She felt Edward’s arm go around her and leaned into his strength without conscious thought. She stared up at the aloof, self-involved face in the portrait, trying to see into her mother’s heart. “I was here the night my mother died, Edward.”
He turned her to face him, moving so quickly she had no time to object. He held her shoulders between his hands. “Tell me what happened in this room that night, Lyssa. Tell me what you saw and what you heard.”
“And what I did,” she said, fighting the urge to break into tears.
“Alyssa,” he repeated softly. “Tell me what you remember.”

Welcome to Mills & Boon’s Tyler, a small Wisconsin town whose citizens we hope you’ve come to know and love. It was your enthusiasm for sequels and continuing characters that prompted us to create a series of individual romances whose characters’ lives intertwine.
By now word is out that Judson Ingalls has been acquitted of his wife’s murder, but the mystery remains. What really happened that night so many years ago? Will the emotionally scarred members of the Ingalls clan ever know for sure?
Phil Wocheck buried some secret knowledge along with Margaret’s body—everyone in town is convinced of that. And the proud Ingalls dynasty is tottering on the edge of financial ruin. Timberlake Lodge has been totally transformed, and Edward Wocheck, once reviled, is now firmly entrenched as a mover and shaker.
And there are strangers in town, too. Devon Addison, Edward’s stepson, seems more and more to be calling Tyler home, and Robert Grover, a strange little man from Chicago, appears to have taken up permanent residence at Timberlake.
Has Tyler lost forever its quiet innocence and strong sense of community? Join Edward and Alyssa as they attempt to make peace with the past and forge a new future for America’s favorite hometown.

TIMBERLAKE.
Alyssa Ingalls Baron caught her breath at the sight of the imposing main lodge with its gabled dormer windows and twin fieldstone chimneys as the drive curved around to front the wide veranda.
Unconsciously her hands tightened on the steering wheel. “This is what it was like when my mother was alive.” She spoke the words aloud, the sound of her voice a talisman against the nervous beat of blood in her ears. “This is the way I remember it in my dreams.”
No one was sitting in the passenger seat of the car to hear her words. She was alone. She wanted it that way. No one knew she was coming to Timberlake to question Phil Wocheck face-to-face, for the first time, about Margaret Ingalls’s death. What she had to say to the old man was for his ears alone.
