The Lost Lady of Hathaway Manor — Anne Knoll

“You'd best trust me, Katherine, You may need my help.”

Forced to flee America or land in debtors' prison, India Chantelle found herself on a ship bound for London where her actor father could put gambling behind him and make a fresh start. India enjoyed her shipboard friendship with orphaned heiress Katherine Hathaway, on her way home to Cornwall to await her eighteenth birthday and her inheritance. Then Katherine made an impulsive proposal; that the two young women, who looked much alike, exchange identities for six months. Katherine craved the excitement of the London theatre, and wouldn't India just love a long vacation at a stately British mansion, especially since Katherine insisted on paying off her father's debts...

But Katherine had another reason for not wanting to await her inheritance within the walls of Hathaway Manor. Upon arriving at the gloomy, fogbound house, India was immediately aware of a scarcely concealed hostility toward 'dear Cousin Katherine' who would soon be chatelaine of the vast estate. And though handsome, brilliant Jordan Hathaway always appeared just in time to rescue her from the small accidents that kept occurring, it wasn't long before India realized that something shocking had happened to Katherine as a small child-something they all feared she might remember and reveal-and that someone was trying to frighten her away...or silence her forever.
