"Disappearances, strange activities in the night, and secret organizations abound in this mysterious Regency romance. Haunted by the assault she's kept hidden over the past four years, Charity Halliwell finally has a chance to return home to the quaint village she left more than five years before and the happy life she wants so badly to reclaim.
