The Cove in Darkness — Sharon Wagner
FLIGHT INTO DARKNESS
With the death of her Aunt Gabrielle, Kit Cavendar inherits the old manor house in Orleans, France, and vows bravely to endure the months of loneliness awaiting the return of her betrothed, Jeffrey. But the appearance of shrewd Cousin Henri, who destroys the will, leaves Kit with nothing, and she escapes in fear, flying away by night on her horse, Lightfoot, to England and the farm on the Cove. Already believing that Jeffrey has deserted her, and with no one but her loyal maid, Nell, and a stray, but devoted cat, Lion, Kit begins to set up a household in this strange, new country. But her trouble has just begun. For suspicions about this mysterious stranger run rampart, and soon evil gossip turns into mysterious threats. As she desperately tries to regain her inheritance, Kit seems to fall deeper and deeper into a tumult of evil--that puts a curse on her honor--and maybe her life!
