When Lady Caroline Faye (Allison Doody, Indiana Jones and the Last crusade) first meets the mysterious, handsome Lord Vane Brecon (Benedict Taylor, The Watcher in the Woods), he has been accused of murder â an accusation she seeks to disprove. Taking a position as companion to Breconâs mother (Virginia McKenna, Born Free), she soon discovers that the family is not only wealthy in land and fortune, but rich in secrets. What mystery lurks in the family tower? Why is the maid Dorcas (Billie Whitelaw, The Omen) so faithful to Breconâs mother, but distrustful of the housekeeper Mrs. Miller (Geraldine Chaplin, White Mischief)? The answer could lie with Breconâs evil cousin and rival for the family fortune, Gervase (Michael York, Loganâs Run). Only one thin gis certain in Fayeâs mind: that true love and honor will survive the Duel of Hearts. A classic Barbara Carland romance thriller. |
