Description: Some histories should stay lost. Especially those written in blood. The only things Millie Lang's mother gave her were third-degree burns, and a name Millie refuses to use. Abandoned as an infant, Millie grew up as "the girl with the scars," shunted from one foster family to the next. Before she met Lukas Strand, she'd never understood what "home" meant. Then Lukas disappeared without a word. Eight years later, Millie is secure in the life she's built as a physical therapist. Until she gets a letter from a mysterious stranger who knows her real name. From the moment she arrives at the sprawling vineyard manor on California's Lost Coast to work with the owner's young son, she begins to doubt her secret benefactor's motives. The vineyard is known as The Strand-and Lukas is her patient's father. As Millie delves into the tangled threads of their family histories, she realizes the fire that scarred her may not have been an accident-and Lukas's son is in danger. Unless she survives long enough to unearth the key to some very uncomfortable truths... Warning: Contains a vineyard owner whose family tree may not have the ideal number of branches, and a woman who is about to discover the magic hidden in her own DNA. May cause unsettling feelings of creeping anxiety and a sudden urge to make bad puns about wood.
