About the book
"The Gunns never did bring the Keiths anything but sorrow," Theresa Keith acknowledged after she had left her home in New Zealand for Austria, the home of her forebears, in the hope that fresh scenes and new faces would take her mind off Murdoch Gunn, the man she was to have married. She hadn’t wanted to break off her engagement to Murdoch, heavens knows, but it seemed to be what he wanted, and what else could she have done with dignity? So what was Murdoch doing now, following her to her Austrian refuge? Did he want her or didn’t he?
