This is a full-length, stand-alone story.Destitute and desperate, Catherine Weston accepts the summons from her … the summons from her childhood friend Madeline St. Aubyn to attend her at Cairncroft Abbey, a place of secrets, lies, and murder. Madeline’s health is in a poor state and she is terrified of her cousin, Gabriel. But Gabriel has quite a different effect on Catherine, stirring longings and desires she believed long buried.
Gabriel St. Aubyn is haunted by the horrors of both his past and his present, horrors he conceals behind a remote, unapproachable facade. He is drawn to Catherine but is determined to protect her from the tragedies that yet have claws sunk deep in his soul.
Then a young woman is found dead, and Madeline’s ravings point to a link between this horrific crime and Gabriel—and Catherine must decide if he is a man worthy of her love or a sinister stranger determined to make her his next victim.

Cela devait arriver un jour ou l’autre. Un livre raté, hélas ! Un livre de trop, peut-être, dans une série dont on imagine qu’elle avait ses exigences éditoriales. On a vraiment l’impression que l’auteur ne s’est pas investie dans cette histoire inutilement compliquée, riche en invraisemblances et franchement peu captivante. Certes, on retrouve au …
Gothic based novel. Enjoyable.
Thoroughly enjoyable read. The plot and characters kept you guessing until close to the end. The atmosphere, scenery and characters were well done, and of course, the ending was quite thrilling.
Let me start off by saying, I am NOT a historical fan. Not in the least little bit lol. I snagged this book by recommendation from. Book buddy, and what kind of Book Bud woild I have been to pass up a “You NEED to read this!!”. So me being the awesomest book Buddy ever, I did. And colored me surprised, I LIKED it!! Took a little while to get …
5 stars. For some reason when I click the star button above, once I post it always disappears.
To get a glimpse into what the mind of a serial killer might be like (quite certain is mostly like) is chilling and scary.
This is a very well written, what I would consider a book that fits into a few genes (mystery, suspense, love story). It very …
Stories are simple and yet they have just enough mystery to keep me wanting to read another one which really surprises me.
Absolutely loved this book. The characters were unforgettable.
A wonderful read
Just another example of great work. I love that the book keeps you guessing until the end.
The characters are deep. Diabolical deeds exist. Characters twist. Definitely keeps the interest of the reader.
A very good author, really enjoyed this book
Good read like the characters, plot good. If you like gothic romance you will love Eve Silver books.
I truly enjoyed this gothic mystery. When i finished it I opened the next book to begin the next mystery.
Everything you could possibly want in a gothic romance novel
Not my style. Prefer romance to sex.
Eve Silver’s heroines are strong, don’t-mess-with-me types, and the heroes are brooding and mysterious. Her books never disappoint.
It kept me in suspense. I found a new favorite author and will be reading more of her books.
