To Beverly Jenkins

“Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns.”

~Author Unknown

Your generosity of heart is both humbling and

inspiring, and I know that God blesses you for it.

Thank you, again.

To Karen White-Owens

Thank you for your sympathetic ear, for telling me the

truth even when I don’t want to hear it and for setting

such an excellent example of organized writing.

I can appreciate it, even if I can’t imitate it.

Prologue

Robert Fenton turned onto the gravel road leading to the entrance of the La Bohemia Winery and B&B in Traverse City, Michigan and pulled his Jaguar to a stop just before driving beneath the iron arched overhang that announced the resort name.

Turning off the ignition, he stepped out just as a gust of the northern wind he remembered so well came rushing by, sending a chill down his spine. For a brief moment Robert wondered—was it really the wind that chilled him or something far more sinister?

He stood looking out over the acres and acres of snow-covered vines that in the heart of summer were typically covered in lush green leaves and plump, juicy, award-winning grapes. To the untrained eye the large, elegant country house that stood on a hill in the distance would look like something straight off the cover of a Christmas card. It was so peaceful and welcoming, but Robert knew better. Because he remembered the monster who had once lived there. He remembered only too well.

Once long ago that monster stole from Robert what he loved most in the world, and now Robert was back to return the favor.

Of course, his revenge would’ve been sweeter if the monster was still around to receive his punishment firsthand, but time had robbed him of that opportunity.

Now, instead, Robert would have to console himself with punishing the monster’s daughter, which was fine by him. As far as he was concerned she was as responsible as her father, if not more so.

For so long, Robert had dreamed of this moment. It had taken years of planning and months of preparation but finally, finally everything was in place.

As he climbed back into his car and started up the gravel road he thought about the people warming themselves inside that cozy old house on the hill. They had no idea what was about to befall them. That after today, La Bohemia and its current proprietor would never again be the same.
