More DescriptionJessica Greenward is a young woman who yearned for a lifetime union with the man that has stolen her heart; the handsome Luke Sheridan, to live in a fine house in the Lakelands of Cumbria, England, which was her idea of Heaven.Luke Sheridan is a prosperous business man, owner of the Low Wood Timber Company and The Sheridan Mining Company. The mines that had claimed the lives of two of Jessica's brothers, and of which her father, Daniel Greenward, is manager. Luke's strength derives from the countryside in which, for all his absorption in money making, his heart lies. Having lost his first wife in childbirth, he marries Jessica for breeding purposes only, but to his surprise finds that the more he sees of her, the more he likes her. But then, Amelia Duprez comes back into his life, whose very touch is a zest and exhilaration that stirs his blood, satisfying a yearning for fresh experiences. Luke is drawn to her like a moth to a flame, stooping to such a course that was merely a craving for lust - no more strange than hunger - a hunger that finally leads to disaster. When the man she loves approaches her with The Promise of Heaven, Jessica gladly accepts and expects him to love her in return. But faced with demons of loss and pain, she is gradually bowed and almost broken when he abuses her in the most appalling way.
