"How could a city girl, bred in the canyons of New York City, find herself broke, alone, and frightened on a Texas plain beside a dirt road seemingly leading to nowhere, with no sign of life or civilization, nothing but the prairie grass and an occasional cactus plant? But this was exactly the predicament of Carol Smith. Carol had ventured from Brooklyn with a newfound friend to seek a career in Hollywood. But now her companion had stolen her money and run off with a truck driver, abandoning Carol to her own devices. Just as Carol is beginning to lose all hope of rescue from her desolate plight, a car pulls up and she is brought to a farmhouse full of warm, friendly faces. She is hired as a housekeeper-cook-baby-sitter, and soon begins to realize that living in Texas is not all that bad. Until she becomes a suspect in a jewelry robbery. She is particularly threatened by Marvin Graham, who runs the farm and is the strong male head of the Graham family. Since he does not believe her story--that she was robbed, had to abandon a defective car, and hitch a ride to their farmhouse--Carol concocts a story to gain Marvin's sympathy. Carol begins to regret her lie when she realizes she is falling for Marvin. And when the serenity of the farmhouse is interrupted by the appearance of the real thieves, Carol must call upon all her imagination and intelligence to bring about safety and happiness for her and for the Graham family."

"After a glamorous honeymoon in the Caribbean, Nigel Ashbrook returned to his ancestral home in Riverglade with his young bride, Leone, whom he had met in South America. The town of Riverglade owed its existence to the sprawling Ashbrook Works, a factory started by Nigel's great-grandfather, and turned into an ill-smelling, all-embracing behemoth by Nigel's grandfather, the tyrannical Jefferson T., feared alike by his children and his factory workers. Of Jefferson T.'s five children, Margaret was left no part of the works; neither was Harley, the artist, who went off to Paris and carved out a career for himself; the works were left to the 'Judge,' a nickname earned in childhood, to William, the chemist, and to Vivian. Leone was to learn that Aunt Vivian had been killed by a fall from the tower room four years earlier, and that William, Nigel's father, had died when Nigel was eight, also leaving a daughter, Nigel's half-sister Doris, aged three. She was dismayed to learn that the three-story, red-brick home, with its elaborate grillwork--the 'bastion,' she privately called it--was to be Nigel's when the judge died. Besides Doris and the 'Judge,' greeting the new bride were the visiting Ashbrook cousins, there on various pretexts: Hugh Cantrell, Aunt Margaret's son, and his fat wife, Effie; Noreen, Uncle Harley's daughter, her husband, Dean Shanley, and small Charles, always into mischief, and always whining for attention; Bonnie, Noreen's sister, there between divorces, with her stepdaughter, Cassie, carrot-topped, pointed-faced and inquisitive. Doris was the most beautiful person that Leone had ever seen, but she was to find that the golden-haired Doris' disposition did not match her beauty. To the young bride, there was something sinister about the house and most of its occupants. When Doris fell from the tower window and became an invalid, Nigel, upon whom the blame fell, left Riverglade without explanation to his wife. Leone would have left too, but the judge, of whom she had grown fond, needed her, and Doris needed her even more. Thus Mrs. Stevens sets the stage for her intricate Gothic story of greed in a family--most of it caused by Jefferson T.'s lopsided will. It would be four years before the final act was played out in that upper tower room and the old Ashbrook house would at last know peace." Listing updated 2-14-2006.

"Five years ago a tree had fallen on Damon Billington, a prominent young lawyer, and crushed his legs and broken his spirit. It was then up to his sister, Lacey, only eighteen at the time, to care for the family and try to support them in the style that their mother, Letitia, would have liked. Unskilled as she was, Lacey found it difficult to secure a position that would befit a Billington, one of the founding families of Bosbury. Her work in the town library was financially unrewarding, but it helped Lacey to forget her brother's pain and the anguish that broke her own heart when her childhood sweetheart, Anton Farrar, had left town without a word and married someone else. And now Anton was back in town. Also back in town was Dorothy Arthur, Damon's former fiancee, this time with a handsome friend, Bryan Lord, in tow. As Dorothy said, 'The stage is set from murder.' Quiet little Bosbury is rocked with crime, and Lacey and her family are embroiled in a police investigation.

"The sign on the door said merely 'Basil Leighton.' Lovely Farrah Jordan stood before it with a growing sense of uneasiness. Should she have so trustingly answered a blind ad? It had not even been in her field--in fact, it was decidedly vague. As a professional photographer, Farrah was interested in furthering her career, but that was not easy in London, when one was not wealthy or did not have an impressive resume. So she was willing to take any job just to put off her return to New York. Shaking off her growing discomfort, Farrah knocked on the door and was invited in. The room was so dim that she could barely make out two figures seated across from her. Thinking that some sort of weird trick was being played, Farrah left in anger. When she slammed the door after her, she thought she was closing an unpleasant incident in her life. But she wasn't. For Farrah was going to meet with Basil Leighton again. And she was going to accompany him on a whirlwind trip to Guatemala. Wrapped in the luxuries of the millionaire's life style, she was allowed only a glimpse of Basil's enigmatic personality. But it was enough to convince her that she wanted to be more than his employee. However, Guatemala, for all its lushness, proved to be barren soil for love. And Farrah Jordan experienced the heartbreak of a love unreturned." Listing updated 6-9-2007.

"Dark-eyed Jenine Royale was thrilled. A spur-of-the-moment invitation had brought the young reporter an unexpected trip home. Home was aptly named The Haven, a huge stone house set amid gigantic pines and rough granite boulders in a California mountain forest. Here Jennie had been raised under the tender tutelage of Henriette Royale--musician, lecturer, world traveler, and mother to seven adopted children--who presided over the estate with the dignity and grace of an aging queen. Jennie had been separated from Henriette for several years. Caught up in the whirl of a journalistic career in Washington, D.C., she had sipped cocktails with junior senators and visiting dignitaries as a sideline to the more important business of selling her lightly barbed profiles of political personalities. But not even her writer's imagination could have dreamed up the bizarre drama that was unfolding at The Haven. A dashing young stranger was apparently madly in love with Henriette, now in her sixties. Worse, Hentiette openly returned the man's bold affections. Jennie could barely conceal her shock at her adoptive mother's girlish giddiness. Jacques DeFore was a writer, ostensibly preparing Henriette's memoirs, but Jennie distrusted him. She was especially wary of his self-assured proclamations on the subject of love, for to the horrified young journalist Jacques' flattering attentions to her mother spelled only one occupation: fortune hunter!"

"Fair-haired Brooke Billington was descended from the proper, English side of the family, but still she heard the stories -- told to her by her grandmother on wintery evenings by the fire -- of her more impetuous ancestors, the fiery Spaniard, Anthony De Anza, and the sultry beauty, Carlotta. Carlotta -- so the story went -- had used her dark-haired charms to woo Anthony from his gentle English wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, broken and ashamed, fled to Germany with her children to take refuge with an order of nuns. Anthony remained in California and there built an extravagant gift for his Carlotta -- a fabulous castle set above the Pacific on a rocky cliff. Anthony and Carlotta both met their deaths in the castle and it stood as a symbol of the family scandal and tragedy. The De Anza Castle, Carlotta's Castle, had been inherited for years by the males from the De Anza line. It was a shock (and not altogether a pleasant one) for Brooke to discover, shortly after her mother's death, that she was the inheritor of the incredible old stone building. the taxes alone would bankrupt her, but Brooke, with her lawyer's help, devised a fitting end for the castle. Something -- was it a streak of independence?-- kept her from immediately revealing her unusual plans to her fiance. After all, their marriage plans were based on Piers's love for her and not on his love for Carlotta's Castle -- weren't they? It is after Piers Anders discovers the truth about Brooke's scheme for the castle that strange things begin to happen, And as accident after accident occurs, Brooke begins to wonder if it isn't Carlotta or some evil spirit still inhabiting the castle, who is plotting destruction for her. It is horrible for her to contemplate that it might be one of the very real, flesh and blood, people surrounding her who is planning her death. Strangely enough, on a fog-ridden day, Carlotta does play her role, but not in a way that Brooke had ever suspected." Listing updated 2-16-2006.
