Nurse Alice in Love // Lady in the Mist — Theresa Charles

First there had been the sudden death of her young charge, and then there had been the offer of a new job at Wrack Cove, where another child's life was threatened...

Suddenly Alice Everton was living in a world of evergrowing danger. But to whom could she turn for help?

To the beautiful mistress of Wrack, who would receive a fortune if the child died?

To the hypnotically fascinating stranger whose nightly phone calls forecast terror?

To her stepsister, whose pretense at kindness had sent her into this dilemma?

Who would lead that LADY IN THE MIST back to the light?

THE WEEPING LADY OF WRACK COVE

When Alice Everton was called upon to attend to little Fernie Sherrod, she didn't guess at the danger, suspense and romance which lay ahead of her at Wrack Cove, the Sherrod's isolated estate.

Tom Lambert, who managed the orchid house, was attractive enough to catch any girl's eye, but where did his real interests lie? What was the link between him and Valle Sherrod, Fernie's recently widowed aunt? Who had engineered the sailing accident in which Fernie's father and uncle lost their lives? And who was the unknown caller who warned Valle to look after the child?

These are but a few mysteries that faced Alice as she followed her difficult path in that misty dangerous landscape.
