Historical romance with a twist - a little bit of gothic
suspense, a paranormal element that turns out not to be, and
a whole lot of fun! Lady Anne Addison is a
rational and courageous woman. So when she's summoned by a
frightened friend to Yorkshire to prove or disprove the
presence in their woods of a menacing wolf - or werewolf -
she takes up the challenge. Grim, dank and shadowed
Darkefell Castle is an ancient keep with a scabrous history.
And now it appears that a preternatural menace is behind the
events terrorizing the country folk. Lady Anne finds
the Marquess of Darkefell to be an infuriatingly unyielding
man. Rumors swirl and suspects abound. When she finally
solves the mystery, the Marquess is indeed at the middle of
it, but not at all in the way that Lady Anne had
suspected... and now he's firmly determined to win her in
spite of everything. PRAISE FOR DONNA LEA SIMPSON:
"Donna Lea Simpson has re-imagined the classic
gothic romance, and any reader who loved Victoria Holt, but
always felt cheated by the lack of sexy details, or wished
that the manor really were haunted, will adore Awaiting the
Moon. Donna Lea Simpson is absolutely brilliant!"
