About the Book
To whom should Caryn be true — the king of England or the master of Wyndspelle?
New England, 1770
When a terrible crime robs Caryn Allison of her home, her father, and her family’s livelihood, a handsome stranger comes to her aid. But safety comes at a price…
Marriage to revolutionary Joseph Delgado guarantees a secure future for Caryn and her frail mother, but also means becoming mistress of the notorious Wyndspelle. Built atop a treacherous cliff and rumoured to be haunted, the brooding old house is like something out of a nightmare to Caryn.
And, worse still, her new husband is her political adversary – and, in Caryn’s eyes, a traitor to the king and an ally of her father’s killers.
Despite the strange attraction she feels towards Joseph, she vows to keep her heart under lock and key. But her hostility gradually alienates everyone at Wyndspelle, and even Joseph grows cold towards her.
Soon Caryn finds herself desperately lonely, and the house – almost a living entity in itself – frightens her. But with no means of escape, she is stranded — and, after an attempt is made on her life, terrified.
Then she meets Peter Audel, and is immediately besotted with the handsome young English captain…
Will Caryn betray her husband and protector? Is Peter the key to her freedom or a ticket to disaster?
And what terrible fate might lie in store if she makes the wrong choice?
