Spiderweb of Passion. The great, grim manor of Blackcrest held many secrets for beautiful young Deborah Lane. London and safety seemed worlds and centuries away as she tried to discover what had happened here to her lovely cousin, whose face and name none in the house claimed to remember. Yet even as she tried to pierce the veil of fearful mystery, Deborah felt herself falling -- like her cousin before her -- under the spell of the powerful, strangely attractive, savagely sardonic master of the manor, Derek Hawke. A man for whom women were objects of vengeance for a wound suffered long ago...a man who mocked Deborah's desperate, futile fight against a hatred that had the irresistible power of love....
