Rake and reckless hero, Gabriel Montserrat falls prey to blackest treachery—his death a mystery to be locked away forever in the deepest recesses of Draycott Abbey.

1994
American-born beauty Cathlin O'Neill finds herself named in a strange bequest. But to claim her legendary treasure, she must spend seven days—and nights—in the hauntingly beautiful British Abbey where her mother was murdered years before.

Her co-inheritor is Dominic Montserrat—arrogant ex-royal bodyguard and confirmed cynic—who must now protect Cathlin...and help heal the secret pain of her wounded heart. For grave danger prowls the abbey's ghostly halls—where Cathlin and Dominic must confront the dark shadows of a mysterious past... in the sacred cause of a love too long unfulfilled and a passion too long denied.

Christina Skye's Bio

Chritina Skye has eaten snake meat in Shanghai and armadillo in Canton. A Ph.D. graduate in Chinese literature, she has translated for Chinese generals, dissident poets, and fifth-generation puppet masters. In 1981 the Ohio native was nearly arrested when a businessman she was working for insisted she help him smuggle two "ladies of dubious virtue" into Peking's prestigious State Guest House.

The armed PLA soldiers at the gate were not amused, she notes. But these days Skye's greatest love is England, especially the fog-swept southeast coast. Here she first encountered the portrait of a proud-faced, sad-eyed aristocrat and a great gray cat sitting protectively beneath it. Adrian and Gideon haven't given her a moment's peace since.

Two Draycott novellas later (one appeared in Avon Books' Haunting Love Stories and one in Bewitching Love Stories), the award-winning author of four historical romances is deep at work on a new novel set at magical Draycott Abbey.

A descendant of Revolutionary War hero Adam Helmer, Christina Skye currently lives with her husband and young son in New Jersey, where she prudently avoids snakes and anything that resembles an armadillo.
