'One moment she was Bernadette Tyson, a beautiful eighteen-year-old orphan raised by the nuns of St. Brigid's Convent. The next moment handsome young lawyer Robert Douglas was telling her she might be Bernadette MacDonald, the granddaughter of a wealthy Canadian mine owner.

'Before long, Bernadette found herself at her grandfather's home meeting her new family. But evil fortune seemed to pursue Bernadette at the isolated mansion. First there was the open hostility with which her newfound cousins greeted her.

'Beautiful young Elizabeth Lagrange could almost feel the fiery heat as she gazed at the burned-out North Wing of majestic Corsair Keep, the home she had unexpectedly inherited from a mother she couldn't remember. For Elizabeth had been left on an orphanage doorstep at the age of three, and until the day Sir Raymond Hartshill came into her life her only memory of the past was of the terrible fire that had nearly claimed her life.

'Sir Raymond opened a whole new world to Elizabeth when he brought her back to Corsair Island to claim the lands which had once been owned by his family but now belonged to her. For in this tropical paradise she would find unexpected romance and face the peril of an ancient evil that had marked her for doom... '

'When handsome Paul Acton asked her to marry him, it was the happiest day in Samantha Walton's life. Yet Samantha couldn't know that her love for Paul would soon lead her along a mazelike road of evil deceit to Finisterre -- the prisonlike mansion now owned by the Actons but once a home for the hopelessly insane.

'Samantha didn't want to be separated from Paul at all, but when he received an excellent job offer, his mother asked Samantha to come to Finisterre. There she wouldn't be as far from Paul and at the same time could help the family by putting their collection of rare books in order. And so Samantha entered the Acton mansion, little realizing that once she passed between its high, forbidding gates she might never leave again... '

'A Hint of Terror... was not enough to keep lovely, orphaned Denise Leclerc from visiting the chateau that was the home of her only surviving relatives. Left totally alone by the death of her aunt, and then discovering that she was both an heiress and a member of a distinguished Canadian family, nothing her lawyer said could deter her from seeking out her newfound uncles. Even the letter left by her aunt, with its mysterious warning of the danger that awaited her at the chateau, could not persuade Denise to change her plans. Yet if her lawyer could not convince her to remain in Boston, he could at least provide her with some protection in the person of his nephew, Robert Gordon, the handsome young man who in their one brief meeting had made a deep impression on Denise's heart.

'But the chateau held sinister surprises for the young heiress. And from the moment she knocked upon its massive door, Denise committed herself to a nightmare of terror, becoming the captive in a deadly game of deceit from which even Robert Gordon might not be able to rescue her... '
