Synopsis: Amazon: Amberleigh Dunne must find the key to the lethal secrets haunting a great Irish estate when she travels to Carnhaven in 1893 to aid her mysteriously distressed school chum, Elaine. From the back cover of the Jove Books first edition: Her heart was born anew... Amberleigh, with her hair of flame, had come to the St. Clare estate in Ireland to escape her grey life as a governess. Here she could become a companion to the nobly born Elaine St. Clare, an old school friend, so fragile, so innocent and so unlike her stepmother Devora, the beauty with the iron will... Amid the mists of Carnhaven... Amberleigh soon found herself bearing the shame of another woman, and uncovering the strange secrets everyone seemed to hide - from the roguish patriot Devlin Quade, to the stern and handsome Lord Davenant. Amid the intrigue, the spirited young woman was sure of one thing: that she was losing her heart to a man who would never return her love.
