โ[An] engrossing blend of romance and gothic mystery. The suspense is well done in a fine story line with plenty of unpredictable twists and turns.โ โMidwest Book Review
Damaris Gordon shuddered at the thought of working for the cruel and bitter Master of Blacktowerโbut her fatherโs death left her no choice. Suddenly her fateโher life itselfโwas in the black silk-gloved hands of Gavin Hamilton, a man scarred and tortured by an unspoken past, whose mocking laughter echoes through his ancient Scottish estate. Damaris has heard the whispers that accuse Gavin Hamilton of his wifeโs death and his young daughterโs crippling injury. But the pain and sadness barely hidden behind his blazing dark stare touch Damaris deeplyโand a courageous heart is luring her to the estateโs topmost tower in search of his dangerous secrets.
