The House Above the Bay — Ivy Preston

In the weeks after her arrival at Glencraig, Victoria could not help wondering what had brought the lines of bitterness to Blair Douglas's face and made his daughter, Lucinda, react the way she did whenever her missing mother, Fleur, was mentioned. Then Fleur returned and Victoria left Glencraig. She tried to forget the man with the shadowed face and, when she met nice, suitable Dennis Marshall, she felt that she might succeed. Unfortunately, one does not always fall for suitable people.
