description: Lovely young Silvia Bradstreet had come from London to Colonial America to be a bondservant on an isolated island estate off the Georgia coast. But a far different fate awaited her at the castlelike manor, where its master, William Schlange, deceived her at every turn. Soon Silvia could not trust what she heard or saw... as apparitions haunted her dreams. Yet by day Silvia was pursued by a man whose lips moved like a hot flame over her flesh and drew the very breath from her body... whose relentless passion and incredible strength aroused feelings she could not control. And as a whirlpool of intrigue and violence sucked her into the depths of evil... flames of desire melted all her power to resist...
