"[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." -- Midwest Book Review

Damaris Gordon shuddered at the thought of working for the cruel and bitter Master of Blacktower -- but her father's death left her no choice. Suddenly her fate -- her life itself -- was 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 wife's death and his young daughter's crippling injury. But the pain and sadness barely hidden behind his blazing dark stare touch Damaris deeply -- and a courageous heart is luring her to the estate's topmost tower in search of his dangerous secrets.
