A Heart Possessed (Signet)
Ariel Margaret Rushdon returns to the British estate of Walthamstow in 1800, intent on revenge against her former lover, Lord Nicholas Wyndham. She has spent two years committed to a sanitarium against her will and from which her newborn baby was stolen by the Wyndhams. Posing as his hired model, Maggie finds Nicholas a physical and emotional wreck, and despite her anger over being jilted for the now dead wife and having her baby stolen, she cannot resist falling in love with Nicholas all over again. Sutcliffe (Devotion, Jove, 1996) delivers a dramatic story that is longer on atmosphere and mystery than romance. It does feature a wounded hero but reads more like a rather heavy-handed Gothic.?MKCCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
