A Haunted Landscape — Iris Bromige

For Sophie Ventnor the treasured gardens of Julyan's Court were an idyllic Eden. Sharing this perfect world with her father and Robin, the dear childhood friend whom she would one day marry, Sophie felt happy and secure.

But the peace of Julyan's Court was rudely shattered with the arrival of the Romsey family - Frank Romsey, the dynamic tycoon who swallowed Robin up in his business empire; his son Guy, and daughter Thelma. And for the first time in her sheltered life, Sophie tasted fear - fear of the Romseys and all they stood for.

Guy's family had destroyed much that she had cherished, and Sophie vowed that he would never be a friend of hers. Yet in her struggle to reconstruct her fragile world, she found herself drawn to him. Not as a friend perhaps, but something else, something more . . .
