They wed in haste—Nora Thorngoode, to save her ruined
reputation, and Grayson Lowell, to rescue his estate from
foreclosure for unpaid debts. Each resents the necessity to
exchange vows that will bind them for all time, and yet from
the first, passion flames between them... quickly engulfing
them in a sensual obsession.
But soon the lover that Nora married becomes a dark stranger
to her, a man torn apart by guilt over his brother Tom's
recent, mysterious death...and driven half-mad by ghostly
specters who demand that Gray expose the truth. Has Nora
married a murderer whose wicked deeds blacken all around
them? Or, together, in the secret passageways of Blackheath
Grange and along Cornwall's remote coastline, can Gray and
Nora discover what really happened that terrible night...and
in setting free the troubled ghosts, free themselves as well?
