The Ghosts of Rushton Court — Blair Bancroft
A Regency ghost tale inspired by the classic saying: "Marry in haste, repent at leisure."
The widowed Lady Marian Talbot is keeping a low profile as her exquisitely lovely sister, Vanessa, makes her come-out. Yet somehow it is Marian who attracts the attention of the most eligible bachelor London society has seen in a decade, a marquess who has spent the last dozen years in India. After a whirlwind courtship, Marian -- now the Marchioness of Rushton -- arrives at her new home, only to discover she is expected to solve the challenges of dealing with her husband's hostile brother and sister, his illegitimate young son, and a staff at war with itself. And, as if that weren't enough, Marian must also adjust to a panoply of ghosts, all supposedly benign, but that becomes doubtful as someone -- or some thing -- makes repeated attempts to kill both the marquess and his new bride.
