And when at last she traced the whereabouts of that beautiful but fickle girl, she found a more disturbing development. -- Sylvie believed herself to be the heiress of a vast estate and she was now living there, engaged to the sardonically handsome Mellion in a house filled with dark undercurrents. For it was a house where . . .
a young girl had mysteriously drowned . . .
a lovely woman was slowly wasting away . . .
a disturbing young man was claiming Romira's heart
after but a few hours meeting . . .
Romira knew she would leave Fercombe Manor before she too became hopelessly involved, but could she abandon Sylvie to the romantic mercies of a man who may have slain his first wife?
