"You must leave Cabot Hall!" Ever since she was orphaned 5 years ago, Kathleen O'Malley had thought she was alone in the world. Thus she was overjoyed to discover the name of her father's sister—the famous novelist L. Cabot and was pleased at the prospect of meeting her relatives. Uncertain of the reception she might receive by her new family, Kathleen posed as a writer's assistant and quickly befriended her kindly aunt and her very handsome cousin, Luke. And as the danger of Cabot Hall became apparent to her, with its stolen heirlooms, strange-tasting tea, and ghostly midnight visitors, Kathleen looked forward to Luke's frequent visits as a welcome distraction. But not even Luke could help once the acts of violence began to mount against her, and Kathleen wondered if there was someone willing to kill to protect the secrets of the Cabot family. Something sinister was taking hold of Cabot Hall and. Kathleen knew she must discover its source, even if it meant losing her love...and her life.
