Dreams of Innocence

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN...
A MISSING LOVER...
A CRYPTIC LETTER..
A DARKLY EROTIC REVELATION

The letter arrived unsigned, but it is the only hope journalist Helena Latimer has that her beloved Max Bergmann is still alive. Now driven to search for him, Helena begins her journey to Europe, where Max was last seen.

In a shabbily elegant Rhineland mansion, Helena discovers "Anna's Book," the long-hidden writings of a young aristocratic woman that spans the fever and fury of two world wars. In it Helena learns the secrets of a woman's tormented past: a clandestine and forbidden love affair...and the intimate details of the brutally violent mind-set that led to the Nazi nightmare. At first mesmerized and terrified by what she has learned, Helena slowly begins to understand Max's hold on her -- and the power of her own false illusions about this man she had so worshiped. It is knowledge that can shatter her -- or free her for a new beginning....
