Publisher's Synopsis
Adam Knight is a heartbreaker. With his boyish charm and good looks, he is used to women falling at his feet. Stunned to wake and find his young wife, Callie, has left him in the dead of night taking baby Tyler with her. He abandons plans for another illicit tryst with his amoral secretary and takes off to the countryside without the lascivious Sherrie in tow. Can Adam come up with a strategy to win Callie back and continue with his bad boy ways? Walking on the open Moors of the Somerset Levels, a wild storm springs out of nowhere, catching Adam unawares. Lashed by the unrelenting elements, he falls and injures himself. With night rapidly riding in and no help at hand, he is in very real danger. Alone and afraid he cries out for help....in the middle of nowhere, will anyone hear his plea? His prayers are answered, as he stumbles upon the decrepit and ancient 'Half Moon Inn'. It is a world apart from the luxurious Country House Hotel he is staying. Adam's luck seems to change when Inn Keeper Evelyn Blackmore offers sanctuary and offers the hurt, hungry, and frightened man refuge. As they prepare to spend the hours of darkness alone together, the wild storm continues to rage outside. Evelyn weaves magical fireside tales to while away the hours until the stranded stranger can cross the Moor in safety back to his hotel. However, the beautiful and fey woman is not all she seems to be. Adam finds she has a way of eliciting his inner most secrets. Forced to confront his own heart of darkness will he forget his marital woes and continue with his plans to seduce the beguiling Evelyn? Or have his past sins caught up with him? As the night progresses, the reasons behind his cruel womanising ways are torn from the recesses of his heart. Evelyn offers Adam the gift of healing more than his injured body, but will he reach out to her and accept? Moreover, if he does, is she able to cure the hole in his soul, or will she too be seduced into his dark web of deceit? The tables are unexpectedly turned on Adam, as he starts to fall under Evelyn's bewitching spell. She is unlike any woman he has been attracted to before; fragile and beautiful with her delicate features, raven eyes and flowing black hair. There is definitely something mysterious and different about Evelyn Blackmore and her witch like ways. As Adam plots scenes of soft seduction all is not as it seems. Will Evelyn fall pray to his dark charms, or does she have some secrets of her own? The witching hour approaches along with unwelcome ghosts of the past. With more than just a touch of magic in the air, the Hunter may just find he has become the hunted..."
