Summary

Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had envisioned . . . But what about its master—Connan TreMellyn? Was Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name sounded? As she approached the sprawling mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her.

TreMellyn's young daugher, Alvean, proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose cool, arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil—even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into Martha's life.

Powerless against her growing desire for the enigmatic Connan, she is drawn deeper into family secrets—as passion overpowers reason, sending her head and heart spinning. But though evil lurks in the shadows, so does love—and the freedom to find a golden promise forever . . .

Very enjoyable

I love Victoria Holt books and this one was particularly good. Such a shame that Audible doesn’t have many of her works.

This is absolutely amazing

I was absolutely delighted to see that Audible had finally put a book by Victoria Holt. I do hope that Audible will put many more of Victoria holds books on here in future. Thank you Audible.

English language, please!

I haven't read Victoria Holt books in years. I always loved her books, but I can only see 2 read in English. Is there a reason for this?

A joy and delight from my childhood

Growing up, I pounced on any book by Victoria Holt and have devoured them many times over down the years. I am now 69 and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the first book I ever read of hers on Audible. How I loved it and I'm eagerly awaiting the next.

Finally!!! I’m over the moon

Having had Audible since the start, I was gutted that they didn’t have Victoria Holt. Every 6 months I would type in her name and the excitement I’ve had at finally seeing a book is unbelievable!

Like others I read ALL of her books in my teen years and savoured them all…. I downloaded this audiobook and was instantly swept away and actually listened to this whole book in one sitting! Indeed I actually had tears in my eyes at the closing lines…

Please Audio, as you can already see from the reviews there is a VERY BIG DEMAND for Victoria Holt, please bring all her books back and maybe continue to use Henrietta Meire as the narrator, she really was very good! x
