About the book
Lucan Savidge was virtually a stranger to Kara when she married him. It was a step she would never have taken had she not been distraught with unhappiness over the end of her love affair with the sweetheart of her youth - but the step was taken, and now it was too late to turn back. It was her arrival at Dragon Bay that brought the truth so overwhelmingly to Kara - Dragon Bay, the strange, brooding house on a tiny Caribbean island, home of the Savidge family who were as wild and restless as their name. Clare, Lucan himself, and above all Lucan's brother Pryde, his life wrapped in tragedy of Lucan's causing. They were all hard, bitter, unable, it seemed, to love. Just what kind of a marriage had Kara made?
