A Touch of Fear — Judith Ware

Joyce couldn't remember when the warnings started, or the fear.

She only knew a nightmare exploded when terror drove her into the arms of a man she didn't dare to trust.

A lovely young girl visits her new uncle-by-marriage on his Southern estate, where he is engaged in a secret scientific study involving bats…bats that darken the lonely mansion, that terrify the countryside, that seem to haunt the mind and soul of a silent, brooding stranger. A stranger whom Joyce was destined to love, with something more than A TOUCH OF FEAR.
