Not even her brother Julian's idea that the place might be haunted can dampen her spirits. But one night Arabella wakes suddenly to find a strange man standing by her bed. She runs to fetch help, but by the time Julian arrives, the man had disappeared. Can it be that Arabella has seen a ghost?Something strange is in the air - and surely the echoing laughter in the house isn't just her imagination?
Originally published as a three-part romantic serial written specially for Woman's Realm, The Moonlit Baths is the first time the story has been gathered together in one place, representing the mistress of time-travel romance at her best.
Deryn Lake started to write stories at the age of five, then graduated to novels but destroyed all her early work because, she says, it was hopeless. A chance meeting with one of the Getty family took her to Sutton Place and her first serious novel was born. Deryn was married to a journalist and writer, the late L. F. Lampitt, has two grown-up children, four beautiful and talented grandchildren, and one rather large cat. Deryn has lived near the famous battlefield of 1066 for the past 16 years where she enjoys her life as a woman about town. She is also the author of Fortune's Soldier, Sutton Place, To Sleep No More, The King's Women and Pour The Dark Wine.
