Careen — Virginia Coffman

Beth Milford had come to Saltbridge Tower on the wild and desolate Irish coast to take her motherless cousin Careen under her wing. But instead of the gently bred girl she had expected, she found a sensuous hoyden whose dark knowing eyes looked impudently back into her own, who whispered rumors of murder at the ancient castle.

And then Nicholas Cormeer entered their lives, having come to claim his daughter, the untamed Careen; and Beth was pitted against the strange woman-child in a bizarre struggle for the man she loved.
