    About this ebook

    The Duke of Exeter has hidden away from the town and spent his life searching for the gaze from his dreams. The dreams haunt him and it is this haunting search that leads him to a thief in a market in Florence.

    Sousan has learnt to be cautious of men but the strange foreigner is one who has made her feel anew. She is mesmerized by the silver hair and the dark eyes, but, to the Dark Duke’s surprise she is not afraid of him.

      England, 1762

      HE STARED into the water of the lake he had so often come to, he changed here. The moon was full, any minute now. He felt warmth at his bare back, he turned sharply, no one was to approach this clearing. A low growl was reverberating through his chest and then he saw her, she was shining with an ethereal light; she wore no clothing but that of her glowing skin. His breath had left him; the curse had frozen. He could feel the effects of sorrow wane.

      She was coming towards him, her steps made no sound on the soft dirt, they didn’t even touch it. She floated near his heart, till there was no distance left between her glorious exposed mounds and his chest. She was liquid warmth and he was not warm.
