The moment the
stranger's dark eyes meet hers, Anne
Scudder's world is immediately overthrown by chaos. That
single flare of desire is immediate, driving away all
notions of propriety. Instead, Anne is consumed with sinful
thoughts - ones that no unmarried girl should ever have for
a man who isn't her husband...
But Josiah Cromwell is
no stranger.
It's been six years since Josiah stole
kisses from Anne, his
best friend's younger sister. Six years since Josiah left
after his best friend's death, burdened by the knowledge
that he was responsible for destroying Anne's family. Now
he's returned to claim the woman he can't live without. But
even as their desire threatens to consume them both - body
and soul - the dark workings of suspicion and witchcraft are
afoot.
Because in Salem, too much passion can lead a
woman to
ruin... and condemned to death.
