Publisher's summary

Since his wife's death, world-famous author Ford Newcombe has lived a solitary life, void of creativity - or love. Then Jackie Maxwell tears down the walls of his isolated world with her sassy wit and fierce intelligence. Ford's heart is touched by his vivacious assistant - and his imagination sparked by her knowledge of a strange story that drives them to a small North Carolina town brimming with secrets. There, they will trace the mystery of a woman said to have loved the devil himself... and discover not only the truth about a crime from the past - but a passion that holds the promise of a new life together.

Jude Deveraux, whose "enchanting and extraordinary" (Chicago Daily Herald) novels have enthralled millions, creates two of her most memorable characters in this powerful best seller.

Enjoyed

Loved the narration. It was a good book although the flow was different from Jude's otherbooks. Jude's books never disappoint.

The performance was odd.

The male narrator kept mispronouncing "he" and "she" which was made the dialog confusing and difficult to understand.

Nice change of pace

not your typical Jude Devereux romance, in fact for a while I thought I was reading a Stephen King book. I loved it and will definitely read it again

a good book

This is the first Jude Deveraux book I have read / listened to and I can see why my mother has read many of her books. The story was good and kept my attention.

A Little Offbeat

Different than the usual Jude Devereux, but engaging and entertaining and always a good live story.
