The Dark Glass Heart (English Edition)

After suffering injuries in a carriage accident that left her unable to make love or carry children, Cassie Grace had resigned herself to a life lived alone - until in 1908 she meets Victor Flynn Silverwood, a wealthy and eccentric businessman who has suffered his fair share of scandal after shooting and killing a love rival in a duel, as well as enduring the ups and downs of his often unstable depressive moods, but he soon shows her there is certainly more than one way to enjoy pleasure and to make love, and as their relationship grows more daring, together they discover a love of playful, secretive, kinky sex. Then trouble looms in the form Iris Cavendish, his vengeful former fiancée, who is determined to separate them by any means possible, and then Victor's fragile mind begins to crumble and Cassie must pull him back from a breakdown. After the lovers go through troubled times and emerge stronger and closer than ever, Victor feels sure nothing can ever again threaten their future happiness, until in 1912 he books passage to New York on the RMS Titanic, and the events of the tragic night of the sinking threaten to tear them apart forever...
