She is determined to be part of the effort to bring her sister home, no matter what the costs are. When Dinah's actions cause her life to be threatened, Nathaniel must keep her safe as he attempts to ignore their growing attraction. And when the truth is finally revealed, will Dinah be able to accept Nathaniel's lies and trust that love will conquer all?
