A Moment in Time | Judith Gould

Valerie Rochelle's adolescence was spent rebelling against her parents' grand plans for her future. Starved of their affection, she turned to animals for comfort. The special bond she develops with them leads to her becoming a veterinarian.

Valerie has blossomed into an attractive, outgoing woman; a fact that does not go unnoticed by the wealthy and fiery-tempered Teddy de Mornay. Both charming and popular, and certainly handsome, Teddy appears to be the ideal man for Valerie. But as she quickly discovers, his smile conceals a rather different nature.

One stormy night, Valerie is called out to a remote horse farm in the country, she meets the mysterious but intriguing Wyndhym Ashley Conrad III. Once celebrated for his daredevil ways, Wyn has become a recluse, resigned to keep his terrible secret forever hidden in the mysterious shadows of Stonelair, his country estate. And though Wyn is Valerie's perfect antidote to Teddy's increasing demands, her happiness with Wyn is threatened with the emergence of Wyn's greedy soon-to-be ex-wife, who will do anything to satisfy her powerful lust for his money.

For each of them has a past with an unforgiving enemy who will do anything to destroy so perfect a love.
