Cousin Caroline — Emma Gayle

When her mother remarried, Caroline decided to join Francis, a distant cousin, and his wife at their home in York. She looked forward to the visit, for she greatly admired Francis and in fact had a schoolgirl crush on him for years. But upon her arrival Caroline found that nothing was quite the same as she'd imagined. She was struck immediately by a sense of foreboding. Most disturbing of all was the presence of Peter Stanbury, whom Caroline instinctively liked from the moment she met him, until she saw the hatred burning in Francis's eyes!
