Is he saving her from her demons... or introducing her to his own?
When the Institute for Parapsychological Research answers Lesley Campbell's letters, at first she hopes there's a light at the end of her long, dark tunnel. A tunnel haunted by terrible premonitions and her grandmother's enigmatic words about a stone handed down through generations of her family.
"The opal has been our curse and our salvation."
But the IPR turns out to be just another dead end... and her hasty retreat sends her straight into the arms of Jon Hollister, a man whose gentle manner makes her feel something she hasn't felt in a long time. Alive. Uneasy, restless. But alive.
She hopes to find safety at Iron Ridge, Jon's remote estate. But something lurks in the desolate wilds of the Upper Peninsula. Something sinister. A scarred man walking the windswept shore. An ominous tower full of secrets. The tragic death of his first wife.
And Lesley begins to wonder if love compelled Jon to sweep her off her feet... or a desire as deadly and powerful as the stone she carries.
This Retro Romance reprint was originally published in 1975 by Ballantine.
