author: Herter, Lori
description: Corrosive rumors had tarnished his family name, linking the aristocratic Briarcliffs to scandal, madness...and murder. To entomb the legends once and for all, brooding Ross Briarcliff descended upon the elegant "haunted" beachfront hotel where his ancestor had allegedly plunged his fiancee into the deadly sea.
  
  A slim obstacle barred Ross's way: Arianne Lacey, heir of the ghostly woman who'd died for love. Still, Arianne was so fragile that surely one ruthless kiss--or one salty wave--would sweep her away...
  
  Yet Arianne's ethereal beauty, and the haunting scent of violets, stirred heated premonitions in Ross's icy heart. A violent passion to possess her gnawed at his soul. Was he succumbing to the Briarcliff legacy of maddening obsession...and murderous love?
