Vernon and Nathaniel Heatherington are brothers on opposite sides in the English Civil War. When they duel, each slaughters the other, and they are forced to haunt their old home, Rustead Abbey, until they have expiated their sin. Vernon Heatherington falls in love with the Regency Countess of Rustead, Cassandra. He is her only comfort in her unhappy marriage to a brutal husband, but Vernon has only one day of corporeal form a year.
He swears to come back every year, but that doesn't leave them long. Can they cram a lifetime's loving into a handful of days?Sensuality from ghosts? You'd better believe it!"The story of Vernon and Cassandra reflected the historical period. Ms. Connolly did an excellent job of describing the scenes that completely brought that period to life. The night shared between Vernon and Cassandra was flaming hot and the obstacle these two faced pulled at my heart-strings." - Joyfully Reviewed"
