To Wed a Stranger — Clara Mathis

Haunted Bride...

Eunice Porter hadn't heard the sinister legend of the brides of Hendon House when she agreed to marry Peter Hendon. Not that it would have changed her mind. It was to be a marriage in name only -- a marriage of convenience. For Eunice, it meant her desperately ill mother would get the best of care. For, Peter it would fulfill the eccentric terms of his father's will. But the curse of the Hendon's was not to be ignored. And when the new bride arrived at the lonely house on the moors, its ghosts were waiting for her...

A Heart In Shadow

True love…could it possibly exist between Eunice and Peter? She -- sweet, gentle, and lonely, aching desperately for the smallest sign of affection. He -- older, cynical, and selfish, seemingly only interested in the wealth he had inherited from his father. How could their hearts meet…if he had a heart at all?

Now they were married…and their marriage -- and much more than that -- was to be put to a desperate test in his lonely old mansion on the moors. And amidst the fog outside and the shadows within, Eunice learned that true love can be magic -- but even magic has to be earned…
