Lydia Joyce 'envelops the reader in an atmosphere of mystery and sensuality.' * Now she penned a novel of erotic shadows in which one man will do anything to save his legacy-and one woman will do anything to reclaim her own.
In aristocratic society, of Victorian London, Esmeralda is well-known as a woman with a gift. Her skill at sculpting truth from rumour has been taken as proof of the power of her visions. But when she turns her interest to the family of a sceptical viscount, the stakes quickly rise higher than even she anticipated.
Thomas Hyde, Viscount Varcourt, has been followed by whispers of murder ever since the death of his older brother. He greets Esmeralda with suspicion and scorn, but their first confrontation swiftly leads to an erotic battle that neither can afford to lose. As their growing passion binds them to each other, they discover that their darkest secrets are entwined, forcing them to face their pasts-and their very present enemies.
