"The Night of Temptation" by Victoria Cross is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Regina Marlow, the youngest daughter of a Rector, who longs for beauty and love amidst her troubled family life at Stossop Rectory. As she finds solace in an enchanted garden, her life is transformed with the arrival of a wealthy guest, Everest Lanark, stirring within her aspirations and desires for a deeper connection. The opening of the book introduces Regina as she reflects on the stark contrast between her beautiful surroundings and the unpleasant realities of her home life marked by discontent and discord. Regina is portrayed as a vibrant and intelligent young woman, isolated from her family's trivial pursuits. She is captivated by the arrival of Everest, who embodies the charm and sophistication she has long coveted. Anticipation builds as Regina imagines the impact Everest’s visit will have, ultimately leading to a romantic entanglement that promises both exhilarating love and the complexities that come with it.
