Her sister’s trail leads Claire to London and to Garth Cooper, a boyfriend of Gina’s, who seems to have a secret to hide. As time passes, Claire begins to understand that Gina’s disappearance is not just another one of her sister’s melodramatic stunts…

The Waiting Sands

From the moment that Rachel Lord joined the celebration at Roshven,
she was enveloped in an aura of impending doom.
The house seemed to have evil built into its very foundations,
and yet it made a perfect setting for surly, darkly handsome Daniel Carey,
to whom Rachel was strongly and unwillingly drawn.

Unable to sleep, Rachel heard voices not meant for her ears, and with mounting horror realized that she had become a threat to the safety of someone in the strange,
nightmare house--someone who would stop at nothing to eliminate the threat.

Was that someone Daniel Carey?
Was it really concern for her safety that kept him by her side,
or was he merely biding his time, waiting for a convenient moment to destroy her?

Marianne grabs at the chance of a respectable marriage.

as the sea mist...
