description: The ominously desolate Camargue country of southeast France is the setting for this suspenseful story of a nineteen-year-old girl who found herself so caught between the two men she loved that she could help one only by helping to destroy the other.Melinda Vaughan knew surprisingly little about her own father--considering how close she was to him. But then she never asked many questions about their way of life: why they had made so many moves in the four years since she had been taken from her boarding school in England; why her now-blind father refused all visitors and yet kept in his household one of the roughest and most ominous of men; why Dodie, her father's mistress was so apprehensive of being followed. It was not until she met Charles Lewis McAra, the tall, intense man who attracted her against her will, that she began to wonder. For Charles accused her father of having committed murder--and it was up to Melinda to decide which man to believe.
