Sea Wind — Maeva Park Dobner
She shared a dead woman's passion in a horror-haunted mansion by the sea.
Another Woman's Love. Another Woman's Dread
Lovely young Caroline Connors came to the island mansion of Magnus to complete a dead woman's work. The celebrated writer, Fiona Mackenzie, had perished under sinister circumstances, leaving behind a manuscript that demanded another's hand for the finishing touches.
Soon, however, Caroline was involved with far more than Fiona's work. The strong, virile man who had been Fiona's faithless husband...the handsome, moody artist who well might have been Fiona's lover...Fiona's bitter, rebellious daughter...each was trying to make Caroline take Fiona's place in their lives.
And as Caroline deciphered Fiona's last literary testament, and read its shocking hidden message of unspeakable shame and guilt, she knew she was being captured by the same passionate love as Fiona, caught in the same fearful trap -- and being drawn inexorably toward the same pitiless, hideous fate...
BLIZZARD OF FEAR
Night was descending, the snow had begun to fall heavily, the temperature dropping ever more rapidly -- and Caroline felt a pressing impatience to return to her car and drive away from this deserted place.
Then she reached the spot where she had parked her car -- and saw the spot was empty, as if her car had been swallowed up into thin air.
Desperately, she fought back the wave of rising senseless terror, the feeling she was stranded and helpless and hopefully lost. She had to get a grip on herself. Surely she could easily make it on foot to safety.
But as Caroline moved through the blinding snow, first walking quickly, then half trotting, then breaking into a panic-stricken run, she could hear the muffled footsteps behind her, coming ever closer, and she knew that though she ran as fast as the howling wind, there was no escape...
