Fern and Colin Radcliffe were to have a conventional marriage. But after a shocking wedding night, Fern strikes out at her new husband in a fit of passionate independence-and awakens a craving in both husband and wife to cast off society's rules and mores. They spend their honeymoon alone at Colin's isolated estate- exploring a world of pain, pleasure, and power. But their exploration is interrupted by a devastating secret from Colin's past-a secret that threatens their future together, and their very lives...

Immediately after her wedding, Fern Ashcroft begins to wonder if she might have made the biggest mistake of her life in marrying Colin Radcliffe. Not only does Colin insist that he is in charge in their marriage, but he also seems to be keeping secrets from her. When Colin cuts their honeymoon in Brighton short so that they can travel to his estate in Wrexmere, Fern suspects there is more to the trip than Colin’s wish to spend some quiet time alone with his new wife. Upon arriving in Wrexmere, Fern finds not only a run-down estate but also dangerous secrets from the past that could destroy any chance Fern might have of a happy future with Colin. Brilliantly blending atmospheric elements from Ann Radcliffe’s classic gothic novels with a generous dash of Brontë-esque romance, Joyce creates an elegantly dark and intensely sexy Victorian historical romance that is certain to cast its own mysterious spell over readers. For more bewitching Victorian romances, see the adjacent Read-alikes. --John Charles
