About the book
"Elaine! Why did you leave like that? Why?" While visiting her ancestral home in England, Kelly Baxter was confronted by a furious stranger who mistook her for someone called Elaine. Rattled, Kelly soon discovered that the distraught man was Byron Thorne and that he was distantly related to her cousin. Cousin Charles greeted her with open arms. But the forbidding Byron Thorne made it quite clear that, as far as he was concerned, Kelly wasn't welcome at Ashdon Hall. Despite his coldness, Kelly was irresistibly fascinated by Byron. She wished she could break through his wall of ice and his numbing memories of the mysterious Elaine.
