About the book:
Miss Annabel Ashton is a
teacher at the Rogers School for Young Ladies in Winchester when she
takes a brief visit to her family home, Highcliffe Hall at
Milford-on-Sea. She believes her stay will be short but soon learns that
she will not be returning to the safety of the school. Instead, she
remains at Highcliffe, at the mercy of her cousin, Edward Everedge.
Annabel
protests, but as the illegitimate daughter of a woman who died in an
insane asylum, she has little say. Edward is running out of money and
puts the house up for sale to avoid financial ruin. He insists that
Annabel marry, promising her to a sinister, frightening man. But as the
house gets packed for sale, it begins to reveal disquieting secrets.
Jewelry, artifacts, and portraits mysteriously appear, suggesting that
Annabel may be the true heir of Highcliffe.
She has only a few
months to prove her legitimacy, perhaps with assistance from the
handsome but troubled Maltese Captain Dell’Acqua. But does he have
Annabel’s best interests at heart?
And then, a final, most
ominous barrier to both her inheritance and her existence appears: a
situation neither she nor anyone else could have expected. Will Annabel
regain her life and property—and trust her heart—before it’s too late?
