Wade House — Florence Hurd

THE TERMS OF HER INHERITANCE MIGHT BE...HER LIFE

Nancy was bound to Wade House for at least one year - or until her late husband Jeffrey Wade would have been of age to claim his millions. She was chained to the will and caprice of a family plagued by madness and delusions from an unsavory past.

Bella - the passionate, enigmatic housekeeper with a wildly unexpected stake in the family fortune and a fierce desire to protrect it.

Tony - her late husband's brother. Lean, sardonic, troubled. Witness to a murder long overdue.

Ernestine - Mother. Unstable, helpless. Not to be trusted, they thought.

Seward - cousin. Guardian of the secret that shadowed their fate.

They would sooner see Nancy Wade dead than one of them.
