Castle of the Wolf

Will she unravel the secrets of the castle and redeem the beast? Find out in this steamy gothic romance! "In CASTLE OF THE WOLF, Sandra Schwab's nuanced characters, detailed setting and writing seasoned with a soupçon of tart wit blend together to create a magical, fairy-tale, Regency historical romance."~ Chicago Tribune Celia Fussell's father was dead, and she was reduced to the status of a poor relation in the house of her brother - the new baron - and his shrewish wife.
A life of misery loomed ahead. But there was hope. Deep in the Black Forest, in the Great Duchy of Baden, was Celia's inheritance. Among fir trees so dark they looked almost black, the Castle of Wolfenbach rose, a skeletal ruin adorned by gargoyles where even locals feared to tread. It was a fortress of solitude, of secrets, of old wounds and older mysteries. But it was hers. And only one thing stood in her way: its former master, the hermit, the enigma ...
the man she was obliged to marry. "A luminous fairy tale, beautifully written and brimming with poignant emotion."~ New York Times bestselling author Gaelen Foley ~~~~~~~Please note that this is a gothic romance (even if all the gothicness is stomped to dust by the lady with the sturdy boots). There are NO WEREWOLVES in this novel!!! (Originally published in 2007 by Dorchester)
