The Adulteress

Georgian England teems with unexpected passion and unforgivable sins in this "juicy" historical romance from the New York Times–bestselling author (Kirkus Reviews).
 
Is it possible for people to be possessed?
 

That's the question happily married Zipporah Ransome asks herself when she journeys from Clavering Court to her family's ancestral home in Eversleigh. At nearby Enderby House, a mysterious place connected to her notorious grandmother Carlotta, Zipporah discovers the power of her untapped desires—and the price of their fulfillment.


 


Enigmatic Frenchman Gerard d'Aubigné changes Zipporah's life forever. Unable to resist his sensual charms, Zipporah embarks on an illicit affair that leaves her with a haunting secret. Soon her life begins to mirror Carlotta's, as scandal, violence, and deception threaten to destroy her home. No one, especially not Zipporah and her daughter, will be left unscathed.
