When young and beautiful Dorcas Wilde left the aristocratic mansion that had been her home, her imperious aunt informed her that she was permanently banned not only from this house but from all her future inheritance.
When Dorcas arrived at the isolated farm that was her new home, the servants regarded her as an interloper and surrounded her with an icy wall of hatred.
But only when the marriage ceremony was over did Dorcas realize how fearfully alone and vulnerable she was...how completely her life and happiness were in the hands of a man she did not know at all...this suddenly terrifying stranger, her husband, about to possess her, for better or for worse....
