Sometimes a nightmare is just a love story in the dark...
Ever Greene was just six years-old when she vanished into
thin air from the end of Cromer Pier.
Four months later, she reappeared, safe and sound, on the
doorstep of her parents' house, more than eighty miles away. The child had no
recollection of where she had been or with whom she had spent the time, but in
her hand she clasped a silver and enamel brooch intricately fashioned in the
image of a seahorse...
Ever Greene's childhood was haunted by nightmares and
plagued by mysterious events. Now, as a grown woman, she hopes to put all that
behind her and lead a purposeful life. She answers an advertisement for the
post of governess— a perfectly respectable position for the dignified Edwardian
lady.
This attempt to lead an ordinary life seems destined for
chaos, however, when she finds herself working for an extraordinary bachelor. Gabriel Hart wants her, not to teach those
sweet-faced children she'd envisioned as her pupils, but to transform him into a proper gentleman. A task of
no little undertaking and far from what she'd anticipated.
And then Ever’s troubled
life takes an infinitely more disturbing turn when the monster she called
Pumpymuckles, who once chased her through those childhood nightmares, now stalks
her waking hours instead.
But Ever Greene isn't that little girl afraid of the dark
anymore.
Indeed, the darkness should be afraid of her.
