Product Description
Synopsis
A dark stranger, a moonlit horse ride, a crumbling mansion- is this a nightmare or a dream come true for Deborah Jannvier? Late in the 18th century, beautiful Deborah Jannvier and her widowed mother live in a tiny cottage at the mercy of Deborah's cruel uncle. One evening, just as Deborah's patience with her pauper's life ends, a darkly handsome but gruff stranger arrives at the cottage with a bizarre demand. He wants Deborah to accompany him by horse to Marymoor, a crumbling manor on the edge of the Lancashire moors where Deborah's great-uncle Ralph is on his death-bed. If Deborah will promise to do whatever Ralph asks of her, she will be made mistress of Marymoor and all her worries for herself and her mother can be cast aside. But Deborah will have to leave tonight. Can she trust herself to this man who is hardly a gentleman? And what will she have to do to secure her future?

Deborah Jannvier's life is miserable, living with her widowed penniless mother on the grudging, cruel patronage of Uncle Walter. Then on a dark night, fate brings a stranger to the door. He is Matthew Pascoe with a message from her Great Uncle Ralph. The old man is on his deathbed and desperate to have a member of his family inherit his estate of Marymoor. His other more distant relative, Elkin, is an out-and-out nasty. Deborah goes off into doubt and darkness, to discover that she will inherit only if she marries Matthew. She takes her chance and from this follows a tale of dark villainy from both the disinherited Elkin and Uncle Walter.
A well written, entertaining tale, but not really a romance. The romance between the enforcably married couple is charming and tender, but pushed very much to the sidelines by the machinations of the nasty Elkin, the equally nasty Walter and their various, vicious henchmen. I'd rather have had more of Matthew and Deborah. Poor Deborah is especially overshadowed by her terrors, that rather detract from her established strength of character.
More a melodrama really.
