The Haunted Heiress of Wyndcliffe manor — Beverly C. Warren
The return of her memory brought only terror...and deadly danger.
"Avenge me, Jennifer. Avenge me so that I may rest in peace."
Orphaned in a train wreck as a little girl and raised by a family of poor coal miners, "Jane" spent her girlhood toiling in the mines near Newcastle, plagued by flashes of forgotten memories. Who was she and where did she belong? Only after fleeing the mines and traveling across England with a band of gypsies did she meet the man who had haunted her dreams...and who took her home at last to Wyndcliffe Manor.
But the arrival of Jane--now Jennifer Hardwicke and the heiress of Wyndcliffe--fanned the flames of intrigue and desperate blackmail that had been smoldering for years among the jealous heirs. Finally understanding her past, unafraid of the future, and determined to avenge her grandfather's murder and claim her rightful dominion. Jennifer managed to avoid the first furtive attempts on her life. Yet when she took her seat at the head of the huge baronial table and lifted her wine goblet, she realized that only doom awaited her in the shadowy mist-filled courtyard of Wyndcliffe Manor.
