The heart and the will

Nan's fairy tale wedding to Andrew is abruptly shattered as Edwin bursts into the celebration and yanks her from her husband's hold. "Your happiness brings the destruction of me," he murmurs in a low, strained voice, his mouth twisted into a pathetic mockery of a smile. And to Andrew he says, "You shall yet live to rue the day. You can never destroy me utterly." Edwin's open declaration of war means only one thing trouble. Nan, Andrew, Brad, Julie, Janet, Neil, family friends, and even some local ruffians are whirled into the vortex of intrigue as the reprobate Edwin plots his deceptive course. In Edwin's war, no one can be allowed to stand in the way. Will or no will, he plans to get his share of the family fortune. If Brad's hopes are squashed, that's just the way it ought to be. If Janet takes Edwin's side, it will make it that much tougher for Andrew. And if Julie loses her heart, making the plan work will be all the sweeter. While the story is complete in itself, this exciting tale of mystery and romance is an action packed sequel to the best seller Where the Heart Leads. From the bonnie banks of Lock Lomond to the sultry shores of Nauvoo, the suspense mounts as family and friends are thrown into conflict over the heart and the will.
