Moura — Virginia Coffman

Spirited young Anne Wicklow left her post as housekeeper at a fashionable girls' school to look after the safety of one of her former charges who was suddenly taken to gloomy, forbidding Chateau Moura by her strange guardian.

But once at Moura, the shadowy secrets, haunting legends and hostile inhabitants of that terror-filled mansion quickly enveloped Anne herself in a menacing situation that threatened her own life and sanity.

At the center of the hidden danger stood the virile, surly master of Moura, Edmond, whose brooding good looks and irresistible fascination lured Anne ever deeper into a love that could prove to be her fatal undoing.
