Romantic suspense from the Queen of Rubenesque Romances. Abigail Avery was falsely convicted of the murder of her father and sent to prison when she was only eighteen years old. The supposedly good citizens of Leaky Springs, Mississippi were silent as an innocent young woman was orphaned, accused, swiftly tried and locked away. Her only clue in the travesty of justice is that a bunch of crooked "good ole boys"--headed by the judge who presided at her trial--keep pestering her to sell the family farm. Now, a decade later, Abigail's out of prison and heading back to Leaky Springs. It won't be a pleasant homecoming. She's out for revenge on the people who stole ten years of her life. Especially the judge. Janet Elaine Smith, author of bestselling Dunnottar, says "Pat Ballard has once again woven a tale intense with mystery, intrigue and romance. This is one that will keep you guessing..."
