‘Are you Miss Hampden?’
It was a warm, male voice, with a faint accent. Cassandra had the immediate impression of a powerful figure. The man was tall, dark and well-muscled and he seemed to fill up the doorway.
When Cassandra, fleeing from her violent husband, returns to Juniper Park, her dying great-uncle reluctantly offers her the derelict Belvedere Tower. The rest of the estate is sold to Daniel Darke, a Yorkshire mill-owner intent on moving up in the world.
Daniel’s hands are soon full: the estate is run-down, the gamekeeper is in league with a poaching gang, and the lovely Agnes, a girl with a hidden agenda, is interested in him. But Daniel, too, has things to hide.
Then Cassandra’s husband arrives, and his mood is murderous …
‘This a lovely, light-hearted romance, with plenty of action and thrills. The heroine is witty and resourceful and the hero is just flawed enough to make him more real and therefore more attractive.’
