Within an hour of setting foot inside Malestone House, Jessica Harper realises she has made a mistake. A shy young schoolmistress still pining for the fiance she lost in the Great War, Jessica has agreed to spend Christmas with an uninhibited group of strangers. When she discovers her host, Jack Heally, making love to a naked woman in the next room, she decides to leave.
But the next morning Jessica has a change of heart. The sensual atmosphere at Malestone is infectious. And - she cannot deny it - the sight of the devastatingly handsome Jack embracing the other woman has lit a sexual spark within her. A spark she yearns to fan into flame . . .
