Felicity Worthington is determined to avenge her friend Clarissa's death.  Rushing headlong into the night to kill Clarissa's beast of a husband, her curricle loses a wheel and Felicity is thrown out.  Darkness descends as thunder and lightning streak the skies.Graeme McCracken is guided outside by an instinct he refuses to acknowledge.  God has abandoned him, but he cannot ignore the Voice that directs his path.  He must save the unfortunate young woman unconscious by the side of the road.  Yet, the women of his house are cursed.  He's been married and even engaged, twice, but the ladies die before their time.  His own brother also died, leaving a grieving widow.  Who is he to turn a lost soul away, even though he fears for her life in his home?As Grae and Felicity feel the attraction between them, evil forces are working hard to tear them apart.  Will an old secret, bound in loss and jealousy, destroy the awakening love that brings the two together, or will it solve the mystery of Grae's past?Ms. Beaumont has written a Christian Gothic in keeping with the best of Victoria Holt and Mary Stewart, an edge-of-the-seat wild ride that culminates in peace with God and a happy ever after for hero and heroine.~ Merry ~ My Books:Child of My HeartFaith
