She hadn't recognized the voice on the phone, but the ugly threat was unmistakeable: Mandy was not to go home to Gable Lodge. But her foster mother was dying, and Nicholas would be there—the boy she had grown up with, the young man she had loved...and lost. — Everything at Gable Lodge seemed changed. The familiar servants had been discharged, and the house was run by Lew Williams, a strange young man whom she did now know, who had the complete trust of Aunt Emma—a woman who never trusted anyone. With mounting horror, Mandy soon realized that her life was in danger, and that it was magnetic Lew Williams who knew the reason why. Did Nicholas still love her—enough to risk his life for her?

Jane Blackmore, the daughter of an Army doctor, was born in Bangalore and spent the earlier part of her childhood there and in other parts of India. On finally reaching England, she went wherever her father's appointments took him ranging from cathedral towns to the Industrial Midlands and in her early teens to Egypt. It was during these years that she started to write. She attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, but gave up the stage, and with the coming of World War II returned to her early love of writing. Living in south-west London, Jane Blackmore was married twice and had three children.
