Description: When she arrives at Beresford Abbey, orphan Mary Wilder's hopes of finding a place to belong are dashed when she meets Bane Beresford, the enigmatic earl. He is as remote as the ghosts that supposedly haunt the Abbey--and, like its crumbling walls, her dreams fall apart. Occasionally she sees a different, more caring man behind the facade, so is she foolish to long for a happy home and a family? His proposal is for a marriage of convenience, but his touch has awakened within her a fervent and forbidden longing.
