Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Davina Grimes can't remember a thing about herself, including her name, after a carriage accident. Told that her parents are dead, she allows her vicar grandfather and his wife to convince her to marry John Paterson, a wealthy, much older businessman. Her grandparents don't seem to care that Davina is repulsed both physically and emotionally by John, whose his vast fortune comes from the slave trade. Then one day a handsome stranger stops her in the street and calls her "Rowan." His presence causes memories to return, some of which could cause the loss of her newborn son and her own life. But Davina is trapped in a house where evil dwells, and has placed her trust in a villain who isn't above murder. Once again, Tanner has created a compelling heroine in danger in a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. As one of too few authors writing classic gothics, Tanner, whose earlier books include Morwennan House (2002) and Tucker's Inn [BKL F 1 04]), is priceless. Shelley Mosley
