A dreamboat so tall, dark, and handsome, he stole her heart from across the room. . . .

By firelight and dressed in period clothes, Lucas Sinclair resembled a dangerous heartbreaker of a less civilized age -- and Corrie Ballantyne was stunned by the heat of her desire for this stranger! She'd never been the type to swoon, but somehow the historic hotel owner had bewitched her into his arms . . . and into the middle of an ancient feud. Lucas possessed her with pure pleasure, but was it her own desire that drew her to him, or another's?

An exquisitely romantic ghost story so downright irresistible it must be read in one sitting, Kathy Lynn Emerson's novel is as sensual and mysterious as its seductive hero. Intrigued against her will by a great hotel's secrets and one man's unspoken sorrow, could she make her own peace with the past by unearthing a hidden truth?
