The Summerhouse — Marion Clarke

She was a lovely young innocent. He was an older man and a scholar. But Courtney Dunburn felt honour-bound to carry on her late husband's search for a legendary royal treasure. She had barely had time to dry her widow's tears when the handsome, arrogant Dugan MacInnis appeared to whisk her off to the family's ancestral castle in Scotland.

But danger lurked in the opulent halls and eerie towers of Castlecove. Why was the charming old summerhouse by the sea cloaked in such dark menace? And what was she to make of Dugan? His smoldering embraces woke dormant passions; his sudden rages filled her with dread. Shaken by sudden revelations, on the brink of unearthing shattering secrets, Courtney found herself stalked by an elusive enemy, challenged to look into the smiling faces around her and discover who was her loving ally and who was determined to see her dead.
