The House of Whispering Aspens — Alix Ainsley
After the tragic death of her father, young Maureen McKenna had no choice but to journey to the wild, rocky remoteness of the Colorado mountains to live with her cousin. But from the moment she arrived at austere Wickcliff House, she sensed she was not welcome. Old Mr. Wickcliffe lay dying, and the heir of the Wickcliff fortune had yet to be revealed. Would it be handsome, Clive? Or enigmatic Hollyn? Or might it even be Maureen herself, the only person who could bring a smile is the dying man's lips…
Even as the aspens whispered of danger and the relentless wind shrieked a cry of terror, Maureen found herself falling in love. She hardly knew him, yet she felt safe in his arms, sure of his love, certain that she had at last found a place where she belonged. But when a series of strange accidents threatened her life, Maureen began to wonder just how far the Wickcliffe men would go for gold. And whether one brother would marry -- while the other would murder -- to be master of THE HOUSE OF WHISPERING ASPENS.
