About
The garden of Villa Mimosa is a joyous kaleidoscope of bougainvillaea and hibiscus blossoms… the gushing stone fountain turns water into a thousand tiny rainbows in the sparkling Mediterranean light… and her father's beloved lilies are just coming into bud… But a dark cloud eclipses sun-drenched Sorrento when Jaela Compton opens her father's bedroom door to find him dead.
Alone in the world, with nothing left to lose, she has no reason now to refuse the Contessa di Agnolo's dying request that she take her 8-year-old daughter to her unknowing father in England. And so, after journeying across the continent, she finds herself at Hale Castle, a maze of secret passages and sinister dungeons. Yet again, Jaela feels the cold hand of death on her shoulder as she meets the handsome but haunted Earl of Halesworth, who is rumoured to have murdered his wife…
Barbara Cartland adds the chill of a ghost story and a thriller's intrigue to this enthralling tale of romance, loss and love, told against backdrops brimming with beauty and filled with foreboding.
