Betrayed by the only man she ever loved and left a widow, Cassandra Benson is still in mourning. For there is no pain greater than that of a mother who is told that her child was stillborn. And looking the man responsible in the eye is like a dagger to her heart.
When Elliot Andrews, the Earl of Ferguson, found out that Cassandra got married to another, his heart shattered into a million pieces. Forced to return from his self-imposed exile to take over the Earldom, old desires rush back with a vengeance and stronger than ever. Torrential and all-consuming, their passion takes them by storm, blinding them to the danger that lurks in the shadows of an old manor. Realizing they are the prey, they are driven to Scotland by a letter recovered from the grave. A heinous letter written in the hand of Cassandra’s late husband.
