The Secret — Penelope Thomas

Haunted passion....One memory shone through Jessamy Lane's years as a child in the Wolfeburne's town house: an encounter with kind and charming second son Trystan. Now Trystan, the new Lord Wolfeburne, had summoned her to Cornwall to be his daughter's governess. Jessamy found him a changed man, moody, provocative, and domineering. And eeriness shrouded Wolfeburne Hall like fog on the darkling moor beyond. Trystan's motherless daughter was fragile and fearful, his wolfhounds howled in the night, and the last governess had vanished mysteriously. Jessamy, bewitched by his devilish smile and his eyes filled with secret pain, could never leave. But Trystan knew he risked ruin when he held her in his arms.
