Abigail Foster fears
she will end up a spinster, especially as she has little dowry to
improve her charms and the one man she thought might marry her--a
longtime friend--has fallen for her younger, prettier sister.
When
financial problems force her family to sell their London home, a strange
solicitor arrives with an astounding offer: the use of a distant manor
house abandoned for eighteen years. The Fosters journey to imposing
Pembrooke Park and are startled to find it entombed as it was abruptly
left: tea cups encrusted with dry tea, moth-eaten clothes in wardrobes, a
doll's house left mid-play . . .
The handsome local curate
welcomes them, but though he and his family seem to know something about
the manor's past, the only information they offer Abigail is a warning:
Beware trespassers who may be drawn by rumors that Pembrooke contains a
secret room filled with treasure.
Hoping to improve her
family's financial situation, Abigail surreptitiously searches for the
hidden room, but the arrival of anonymous letters addressed to her, with
clues about the room and the past, bring discoveries even more
startling. As secrets come to light, will Abigail find the treasure and
love she seeks...or very real danger?
