About the book
"Will I miss you, Quinn? I'd sooner miss the Devil." Dreading an arranged marriage to her adoptive parents' nephew, Serena was elated to receive a letter from the twin sister she hadn't seen since childhood--silver-haired Sybelle, who'd been adopted by a Kansas ranching family. Serena hastened to her sister's side, but no sooner had she arrived at the vast prairie mansion than her heart was filled with foreboding. Sybelle was strangely distant, and Morning Star Ranch was a house of dark intrigue: hidden gold...drugged wine...a pond whose black, glassy surface concealed a hideous crime..and a drink-crazed wrangler who didn't care which of the twins he sacrificed to his own desperate scheme. The more Serena learned, the more danger she was in. And unless she dared to place her trust in handsome, dark-eyed Quinn, she had no chance of escaping the fate that awaited her on the night of the summer solstice..a fate too terrible to even imagine.
