Witch Island — Stephanie Bedwell-Grime

No escape . . .He hadn't said anything about a boat ride. Or staying overnight on his island. Or violent storms blowing in from nowhere to strand her in a gothic nightmare. But when Roxanne Gerik accepts Aidan Nevan's contract to teach him computer technology, that's what she gets. She also gets a darkly handsome host, who, with his old-fashioned ways and breath-stealing kisses, arouses her senses as no man ever has. Yet she knows Aidan is hiding something. She doesn't buy his ready explanations for the inexplicable. Horrific creatures wander the woods. The very trees seem to have consciousness -- and a will to harm her. And rather than abating, the unnatural storm is getting worse. She dreams of a future with Aidan -- but she fears neither of them will last until morning. . . .Time is running out . . .Aidan knows Roxanne is the key to everything he wants: to belong to the world again, to be a normal man . . . to love a woman. To love Roxanne. If only he can hold off the inevitable . . . if only he can prevent Roxanne from learning his dark secret and turning away in horror . . . But his well-laid plan is spiralling out of control. The tempest seems bent on annihilating his island home. And soon he's engaged in a full-scale war with the ancient enemy who's determined to possess him.Except, now, it wants not only him but Roxanne, as well. . . .
