MUST EMBRACE.

All her life,Olivia only wanted to be part of large,loving family.
But her mother had hated her home and fled from it; Olivia's
grandmother did not even know she was alive.As Olivia grew into
a beautiful young woman,her mother's fits of fury trembled into
madness,a brooding despair over all she had lost...Devereaux
House,the grand plantation manor rising out of the evening mists
........the genteel wealth and gallant ways of days long gone.

Locked away in the dark during her mother's terrible rages,Olivia
could only dream of her ancestral home and all its glories-until her
mother's death.Then.yearning to find her roots and put the past
to rest,Olivia came home at last to Devereaux House.Her
grandmother lived here,the woman her mother had called evil.Yet
here was Olivia's one frail hope:the family,love and acceptance
she so fevently desired.But when the crumbling doors of
Devereaux House swung open,Olivia walked into a poisoned web...
A legacy of lust and desecration reaching down through the
ages to claim her....
