When twenty-four-year-old Marianne Keyes inherits a fortune from her mysterious Great Uncle, she is shocked and delighted-until she learns a condition of the inheritance is her residing, alone, in Rothmore Hall.
Richard Lowell is the disinherited son of a wealthy man who finds himself, and his two best friends, strapped for cash and all but homeless when he learns of a mysterious new heiress-an unmarried new heiress.
But seducing Marianne for her money may prove to be harder than Richard had planned. Not only do they turn out to have a history, but Rothmore Hall may be haunted-and determined to kill them both.
