Passion and treachery give this Regency romance a gothic twist--from
the USA Today-bestselling author, "a most gifted storyteller" (RT
Book Reviews).
As the third and last unwed daughter of an earl, Lady Anne Davies
doesn't expect her marriage to be a love match. She is in need of a
husband. Lord Michael St. Ledgers needs a woman to run his home and be a
mother to his orphaned niece and nephew. It seems the ideal business
arrangement. When Anne travels to Michael's ancestral estate, the
Priory, deep in the Derbyshire countryside, she starts to uncover his
disturbing secrets. Michael's brother perished under mysterious
circumstances, and now someone at the Priory is stalking her. As Anne
begins to fear for her life, she realizes that the greatest danger may
come from the man she has come to trust--and love.
