The Black Orchard

Love, obsession and violence take root in the orchard... In the third book of the Dalton's Saga, Jack and Abigail have everything they once believed impossible-wealth, security, and a child on the way. While Jack expands his fortune through steel and land, he sets his sights on a sprawling orchard outside the city, where he plans to build a grand new home for their growing family. For the first time, Abigail dares to believe their future is finally safe. Then Robert Stallings arrives. The only man alive who knows the truth about the blood and betrayal that built the Dalton's fortune, Robert comes to Pittsburgh bent on revenge. But when he finds Abigail pregnant, his plans begin to change. Drawn into the heart of their household, Robert no longer wants revenge alone. He wants Jack's home. Jack's wealth. Jack's child, and Abigail. >(warning: explicit language and mature themes) Perfect for readers who love: dark historical romance with gothic atmosphere, obsessive antiheroes and morally gray marriages, dangerous love triangles and domestic suspense, post-Civil War settings, family secrets, and buried crimes, slow-building dread, possessive love and deadly revenge.
