July 2003 :: Stardust of Yesterday by Lynn Kurland
This is Lynn's debut novel from 1996. I fell in love with Kendrick and his family and was so pleased that Lynn decided to keep writing about them and her publisher kept on publishing them.
We meet Kendrick de Piaget as a 700-year-old ghost who has sworn to demolish the family that caused his immortal entrapment on the mortal plane.
Genevieve Buchanan turns down her inheritance in merry Olde England, content to stay with her fulfilling job and comfortable home. Until it all comes crashing down around her. The only refuge left is a drafty old castle on the English coast, and she's not about to let this too slip out of her hands.
See what happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object in this hauntingly rich tale of love, forgiveness, and vengance.
