Hold Back the Dark

Nicholas Always Makes the Rules

Or that's how it seems to Clarry Rickard. Two years earlier, Nicolas Dargan had sent his brother, Nigel, out of the country. He'd done it to break up Nigel's engagement to Clarry, and she's hated him ever since.


Now, Clarry—who restores antiques for a living—is offered a wonderful assignment at King's Lodge, an Elizabethan manor in a nearby Midlands village. There's only one catch. The lodge is owned by Nicolas Dargan.


Despite her reservations, Clarry accepts the job. And once again Nicolas invades her life and dominates her feelings. But this time they're not the old familiar feelings of anger, hatred, resentment. No, they're something far worse. She's falling in love with the enemy!
