Synopsis

In this gripping novel of small-town scandal and sizzling passion, New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts tells the story of a renowned artist who confronts a mystery from her past—and finds that her family secrets have not been laid to rest.

“[Roberts] can make romance seem fresh and hopeful every time.”—Time

Famed sculptor Clare Kimball has commanded the attention of the New York art world, but troubling memories from childhood have drawn her home to Maryland, to the town where she grew up and where her father died so long ago in circumstances never really explained. Nothing much has changed in Emmitsboro—except Cameron Rafferty, the onetime high school bad boy turned town sheriff. The only hint of Cam’s wild nature is the light in his eyes when he looks at Clare. In Cam’s strong arms Clare is seduced into falling in love—and believing that her small-town world is safe.

But within the dark woods of Emmitsboro, something evil is spreading its poisonous power. Now Clare must pay the price for digging up the secrets of the past . . . and confront an evil that may be unstoppable—because those who practice it believe it is divine.

For more than three decades Roberts has published more than 200 titles in the romantic novel category. She wrote her first story during the blizzard of 1979, when she was snowed in at her home. The first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published just two years later. Then, the next two years brought 23 more published novels, and she finally caught the public's eye in 1985. That last novel, "Playing the Odds" gave Roberts a "fan favorite" status and transformed the romance novel category.

There are quite a few negative reviews for this book - which surprises me a little, but at the same time, I can also understand.

Goodreads review by Cindy on December 05, 2018

Nora Roberts' books are my go-to guilty pleasure books, but this one did not work for me. This is one of her older works (early 90's), and it shows. The characters smoke like chimneys, for one thing. I don't keep up with trends in romances, but I would think that is unusual these days. The whole cul......more

Goodreads review by Sandy on May 18, 2024

Its main characters are Clare Kimball, a sculptress who returns to her hometown, and Cameron/Cam Rafferty, the town sheriff. Their romance develops quickly. Clare has nightmares from childhood a......more
