Story description:
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Vanessa Chadwick had returned to England for one reason-the reading of her father-in-law's will. Stepping onto the chilly dock of Southampton, holding fast to the hand of her young son, the beautiful American widow tried to remain calm. But Graham Chawick, her late husband's brother, quickly tested her resolve. Graham was a towering, muscular, exquisite specimen of a man, and their brief encounter years ago was one reason she'd fled. Scandal was on everyone's lips then, and Vanessa expected some whisperings to follow her now; yet when the first threatening note arrived, and her son narrowly escaped an "accidental"injury, she knew someone desperately wanted her out of England. But Vanessa was through with running. She would go to the stone Norman monolith of Castle Darnley, the house she had learned to fear, and find a way to stop her tormentors before they put a stop to her forever.
Swift, entertaining reading

This is a well-written book that moves along quickly and has an interesting, bright heroine. My only complaint is that it is billed as a gothic romance and isn't as spooky or suspenseful as the gothics I am used to. However, there is PLENTY of heart-stopping romance here though (which is often an afterthought in some gothics) so it sort of balances itself out. Jo-Ann Power is an author I will be very happy to read again!
