Dark Is My Destiny — Heather Smith Hurst

A childhood dream turned into a fearful nightmare when Alison Griffith Highfield arrived at the home of her ancestors in Wales. Growing up in New England, Alison had conjured up a fairy tale picture of the great old manor house--but now Alison learned the dark truth about this place of horror.

Her beautiful, haughty cousin Samantha greeted Alison with venom on her tongue and hate in her eyes. A handsome, aristocratic neighbor made Alison's heart beat faster with his charm, then frightened her with his strange behavior. And overshadowing all else was the portrait of a hauntingly lovely girl who could have been Alison's twin--a girl whose tragic curse reached out from beyond the grave and over the centuries to trap Alison and draw her screaming toward her doom.
