About This Book

A shy, attractive young woman from modest means receives an invitation to a wealthy country household that ignites jealousy in two stylish cousins determined to win the heir's favor. Their early intrigue leads to schemes that strand her and set in motion a sequence of events mixing romantic hope with dark reversals: engagements and weddings, ominous warnings, violence by a maddened figure, bereavement, accusations, and desperate loss. Amid mourning and exile she rebuilds her life, uncovers hidden truths, and finds a new home and consolation as longstanding mysteries and relationships are gradually revealed and resolved.
