Falconridge

About this book

Beautiful, young Lauren Moore had been left penniless and homeless after the death of her mother, and Aunt Helena's unexpected invitation to live with her at Falconridge seemed almost too good to be true. She also found herself strangely drawn to darkly and handsome Norman Wade, her arrogant cousin by marriage. It wasn't long before Lauren realized that many inexplicable things happened at this brooding mansion by the sea and she was caught up in its mysteries. "Why don't you leave, Miss Moore? Falconridge is not kind to people who do not belong. You do not belong. You are an outsider." But despite the housekeeper's grim warning Lauren had to stay, for she had nowhere else to go. What were the secrets of Falconridge? What was behind all the strange happenings--the locked rooms, the mysterious footsteps in the night, the unexplained disappearances? Only after a long, lonely night and a terrifyingly close escape from death, did Lauren begin to unravel Falconridge's frightening secrets... Then after a terrifyingly close brush with death, she began to suspect that Norman, the man she loved was the one who was desperately trying to kill her! Is he the person that desperately wanted to get rid of her? He seemed to be the evil force behind it all. But despite her suspicions, Lauren continued to fall in love with him.
