Purity (Novella #8)
by Douglas Clegg

In Purity, the darkest force is love. Owen Crites has watched Jenna Montgomery flower into a beautiful young woman as they've practically grown up together through the summers -- Owen is the gardener's son who will one day become groundskeeper of the Montgomery summer estate on Outerbridge Island. Now, when they both reach adolescence, Owen begins to understand that Jenna is meant for a different life in adulthood than he is destined for -- and he knows that he must somehow keep her on the Island until she no longer wants to leave. Enter Jimmy McTeague, the young tennis star from Manhattan, heir to a sporting goods fortune, who has also come to spend the summer with the Montgomery's -- and soon, a triangle of love, hate, and the darkest of human impulses emerges.
