Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had
envisioned...

But what about its master--Connan TreMellyn? Was
Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name
sounded?

As she approached the sprawling mansion
towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of
apprehension overcame her.

TreMellyn's young daughter, Alvean, proved as spoiled and
difficult as the three governesses before Martha had
discovered. But it was
the girl's father whose cool, arrogant demeanor unleashed
unfamiliar sensations and turmoil--even as whispers of past
tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves
into Martha's life.

Powerless against her growing
desire for the enigmatic Connan, she is drawn deeper into
family secrets--as passion overpowers reason, sending her
head and heart spinning.

But though evil lurks in the shadows, so does love--and the
freedom to find a golden promise forever...
