The Peacock Bed

About this book

In the summer of 1862, orphaned and alone, beautiful, emerald-eyed Abigail Menory was delighted to spend the summer with her school friend Charity Scott. But danger awaited her in the wild Scottish borderlands. Forced to play a dangerous part in a forbidden romance, drawn to Kenith Martin's dark, sensual good looks, adventurous Abigail was suddenly enveloped by the cloak of menacing secrets that surrounded the house of Duncraw. Murder was in the air. She dared trust no one. Torn between desire and dread, Abigail would risk everything to probe the mystery of the locked room--the room with its haunting legend of death--to untangle a dark family secret and learn the sinister truth about The Peacock Bed.
