Le Refuge des cœurs perdus

Résumé

En voyant son fils s’avancer dans la cuisine, Howard sentit les larmes lui monter aux yeux. Il rêvait depuis si longtemps de ces retrouvailles avec son petit garçon ! Bouleversé, il ouvrit les bras… Mais l’enfant, apeuré, se précipita vers Norah Ackroyd.

Howard serra les poings. Une fois encore, le clan Ackroyd triomphait ! Six ans plus tôt, sa vie s’était effondrée lorsque Tony Ackroyd lui avait volé sa femme Liz et son fils… Aujourd’hui, Tony et Liz étaient morts, mais c’était Norah Ackroyd la propre fille de Tony, qui se dressait sur sa route. Non, il ne se laisserait pas faire ! Il était prêt à tout pour reconquérir son fils ! Et ce n’était pas Norah qui l’en empêcherait…

Driven by ambition and power, Gavin Hunter had sacrificed everything that mattered--including his wife and child--to success. Now his son, Peter, needed him, and Gavin dropped everything to rush across the country to the desolate moors... Only to find that time had erased the boy's memory of his father.

Filled with bitter resentment, Gavin watched Peter cling to the woman who was his guardian. Norah Ackroyd's wild beauty reflected the untamed land, and her tender touch enchanted children and animals. Gavin, however, was immune to her charms. He planned to take his son and flee--except that the bond between Norah and Peter wouldn't be easily broken... And soon Gavin, too, was falling under her spell....
