Meet Grace Wheaton, lover of history and mystery--
both
of which can be found in her hometown's palatial
Marshfield
Manor...
Everyone wants a piece of millionaire Bennett Marshfield,
owner of Marshfield Manor, and letters are coming in
daily
from those claiming to be poor relations. The elderly,
reclusive heir trusts no one but his aged curator, Abe.
But
when Abe is killed in a case of mistaken identity, the
tide
changes...
Although shaken by the murder, Grace Wheaton, whose
lifelong
dream has been to work at the manor, steps up to the
challenge of assuming Abe's job. Bur now some of the
letters
arriving for Bennett have taken a nasty turn, demanding
millions--or else. When an uninvited stalker shows up at
the
manor and at Grace's home, she and handsome groundskeeper
Jack Embers must protect their dear old Marshfield. But
to
do this, they'll have to investigate a botched Ponzi
scheme,
some torrid Wheaton family secrets--and sour grapes out
for
revenge...
