The Pride of the Trevallions

She was a beautiful young creature, Joanna Goodacre. A servant at Mallion Castle. But proud and headstrong, all the same. Benedict Trevallion, the enigmatic master of Mallion, owed her father a debt of gratitude. Which is why he brought her to the castle. At least that is what he said.

But why did he marry her? A chit of a girl -- companion to his mother. Why, he had never even kissed her! Now suddenly she was his wife. But in name only. Benedict lived in solitary secrecy in other rooms of the castle.

Something was going on. Something terrible and terrifying.

Joanna was afraid. What kind of man was Benedict? And most of all, what were his plans for her?
