Publisher Description
Disowned by her oil tycoon father, debutante Rosamund Burnell is in a fix.
With limited funds, and a long way from Texas, the answer seems obvious.
Pretend she's still a wealthy catch, to ensnare an eligible English bachelor.
Meeting the Duke of Studborne, it seems her prayers have been answered.
But the Duke's motives for courting her are not what they seem, and Rosamund is caught in a trap.
Are the mysterious disappearances at Studborne Abbey mere coincidence?
Or does something wicked lurk within the ancient monastic walls?
Rosamund must uncover the truth, and only one person in the abbey can help her.
The Duke's annoyingly principled, utterly penniless, and far-too-gallant nephew...

A Gothic Romance
Secret passages, a creepy crypt, sacrifice and grisly murder. A former Texan oil heiress disowned by her father has no choice but to try and marry well, but is a grieving Duke the right choice? And what exactly is going on at Studborne Abbey? Why is no-one worried about girls disappearing without notice? Rosamund is drawn towards the Duke’s intellectual but awkward nephew, who has no idea how to flirt, but ever since she met him she has been deceiving him, how will he take the truth?
