| Beautiful, willful Serena has battled all
her life to overcome the twin handicaps of a lame foot and a withered hand.
She's devastated when handsome Lord Clairmont scorns her and marries a
woman who's perfect in every detail.
When Clairmont returns from Waterloo, crippled and scarred, his appearance
revolts his wife, who rejects him. It's Serena who challenges and goads
him to break free of his self pity, conquer his handicaps and regain his
zest for life.
But Clairmont's jealous cousin, cheated of his chance to inherit
the family estate, plots to prevent Clairmont's recovery. He blackmails
the estranged wife, who's hiding her own dark secret, into assisting his
deadly plan. Serena's quick wits and Clairmont's courage ignites to a passion
that consumes them both. |
