One dear friend--One deadly foe

One day lovely young Angela Todd was a seamstress struggling to sustain herself in London; the next, she was independent and owner of a charming country cottage. Her legacy gave her everything she had ever wanted. Not even a series of cruel pranks, strange "accidents" and shrill threats could shake her resolve to remain at Dower House.

Gentle Greg Ingram, the local schoolmaster, was protective and kind. Arrogant Roderick Mellory, obsessed with the lavish reconstruction of Phoenix Hall, was determined to have Dower House back. From the moment she arrived, Angela knew a mysterious enemy wanted her to leave. But with the discovery of an ancient diary, a pistol, and a strange key hidden in a secret drawer, it became desperately clear--one of these men truly loved her and one wanted her to die.
