Geisterhafte Stille, die ihr die Luft zum Atmen raubt. Schweißgebadet erwacht Devon aus einer unheimlichen Vision. Seit die Schriftstellerin das „Stafford Inn“ betreten hat, steht für sie fest: Etwas Entsetzliches ist hier einst passiert – im gelben Zimmer unter dem Dach. Der perfekte Stoff für ihr nächstes Buch, wenn Jonathan Stafford, der Besitzer des Gasthofs, sich nicht erbittert dagegen wehren würde. Aber Devons beklemmende Träume zwingen sie, weiter in der Vergangenheit des Hauses nachzuforschen. Nichts kann sie davon abhalten, das Rätsel der Rose zu lösen: Nicht ihre eigene Angst vor dem, was sie enthüllen wird. Nicht das drohende Gefühl, beobachtet zu werden. Und auch nicht Jonathan, zu dem sie sich unwiderstehlich hingezogen fühlt.

Über niemanden wird derzeit in London so begeistert getratscht, wie über Randall Clayton, den siebten Duke of Beldon. Er gilt als perfekter Gentleman - und perfekter Verführer.

Doch es kommt der Tag, an dem sich Randall und Caitlin entscheiden müssen, ob sie gegen alle Intrigen und Verrat auf den Gleichklang ihrer Herzen hören ...
