Eternity
When forced into an arranged marriage, Silvia's world is turned upside down. Her groom, Sir Adam Dalton, seems the epitome of 19th century aristocracy ... the breeding, the well-polished veneer. Soon though, it's undeniable -- a tyrant rules the "House of Dalton." Rejected, Adam satisfies his lust wherever he can, and Silvia plots to punish his wicked deeds. When Michael pledges undying love for her with the gift of a coveted locket, her true destiny is revealed.
