Seacliff House — Jane Toombs

Esma Drake, fresh from the orphanage, arrives at Seacliff House to care for sickly five-year-old Alisette. Esma soon finds the household uneasy. The child's father and captain of Sea Dragon, Stephan Nicolai, is years overdue at port and to Esma's distress, the child's mother ignores the little girl. Then Stephan returns--with amnesia, recognizing no one. When he at first mistakes Esma for his wife, the terror that soon engulfs Seacliff House begins.
