Synopsis: Georgian England teems with unexpected passion and unforgivable sins in this &“juicy&” historical romance from the New York Times–bestselling author (Kirkus Reviews). Is it possible for people to be possessed? That&’s the question happily married Zipporah Ransome asks herself when she journeys from Clavering Court to her family&’s ancestral home in Eversleigh. At nearby Enderby House, a mysterious place connected to her notorious grandmother Carlotta, Zipporah discovers the power of her untapped desires—and the price of their fulfillment. Enigmatic Frenchman Gerard d&’Aubigné changes Zipporah&’s life forever. Unable to resist his sensual charms, Zipporah embarks on an illicit affair that leaves her with a haunting secret. Soon her life begins to mirror Carlotta&’s, as scandal, violence, and deception threaten to destroy her home. No one, especially not Zipporah and her daughter, will be left unscathed.
