Cliff's Head — Dorinda Kamm

Thrown upon her own resources at the age of twenty-one, Rachel Cary grabbed at the first position available to her -- as companion to young Laurel Talmadge. Invalided in the accident that killed her mother. Laura lives with her hypnotically handsome, arrogantly attractive father at Cliff's Head, a secluded country manor far from bustling London. But in spite of it's great beauty, Cliff's Head is a house without love, a place of dark secrets and dangerous warnings for Rachel to return to London, overshadowed by the intriguing mystery of Celeste Talmadge's murder. Though the death of the celebrated beauty had made headlines years before, it was never spoken of by Moore Talmadge, who has banished all signs of his late wife from Cliff's Head

Why then, the paralyzing fear that still hangs over Laurel, who seeks nothing more than her father's love?

And why, then the feeling Moore stirs in Rachel's heart -- when her mind tells her he has murdered once…and would do it again?
