The Golden Falcon — Betty Hale Hyatt

The journey from glittering Regency London to a desolate castle in Spain was a fearful one for young English heiress Antonia Martin. True, this was her honeymoon, and at her side was her darkly handsome, aristocratic husband--but soon it became clear that she knew as little about this man as she did about the place that he was taking her.

By the time Antonia arrived at the ancient fortress of Los Peregrenos, she realized that she was married to a man who refused to touch her. Soon she found herself pursued by her husband's enemy, a man as disturbingly attractive as he was ruthless and arrogant. But even these shocking discoveries paled when she was told the local legend of the great falcon that killed every mistress of this grim castle. As horror quickened her pulse like the beating wings of a caged bird, Antonia knew she must triumph over that age-old curse if her shadowed love were not to lead her to tragedy.
