Desc: 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.

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...
