Moon Shadow — Laura Parker

JULIANNA.
PROUD AND SOLITARY ...
WITH A HEART AS WILD AS HER WEST COUNTRY HOME

Despite rich dark hair and striking green eyes, Lady Julianna Kingsblood had far too independent a spirit to win a husband in London's cynical marriage market. Retreating from scandal and heartbreak to her ancestral home on the Devonshire coast, the determined young woman was undaunted by whispers that the place was haunted. But who was the figure who came only in darkness, invading her bedchamber, tempting her with kisses, taunting her with his searing touch? And was it only in her dreams that their bodies melded into one?

Mesmerized by these nocturnal visions, Julianna faced a daytime world where a roguish gardener challenged her to drop her upper-crust defenses and face the hunger she tried so desperately to deny ... and where an uprising among local miners brought the countryside to the brink of class warfare. Standng alone, Julianna courageously confronted the passions raging around her ... even as she dared find exquisite pleasure in the twilight realms of Moon Shadow.
