At the isolated Tremayne estate, she finds a sensual, brooding strangera man who needs a woman strong enough to melt into his embrace. Into a place of ghosts and shadows, Lucy has brought a radiant, healing light; and in Ryders heart of darkness, she ignites a passion that could destroy them or redeem them both
