Book description
Ever since her father had first given her a horse, Caroline Dorrie had ridden out alone over the old de Verries estate, out to the ancient landmark known in that part of Cornwall as the Granite King. There, with the salt breezes and summer sun playing on her face, she would dream of men as wild and warm as those Cornish winds, whose fire and fervour were mingled with a brooding darkness and the power that could quell even the most wilful mood.
But when Garth de Verries returned from India to claim his inheritance, he walled off his lands and thus denied Caroline her place of sanctuary. Was his motive – as he claimed – to protect the invalid guest with whose care he had been entrusted? Or were those sparkling vlue eyes and dark brows hiding a deeper secret – that of his true relationship with the beautiful woman of whom Caroline, dreaming perhaps of the imagined heroes of her youth, had become suddenly and passionately jealous?
