Satan's Rock

by Marilyn Ross, W.E.D. Ross (AKA)

Does Lucy Ashton's fiance pursue her for her love -- or her life?

Lucy Ashton had always laughed at the ancient legend of Satan's Rock. But after surviving several near-fatal accidents, she gives greater credence to the story of a ghostly figure sworn to kill anyone who dares unearth the treasure hidden in the murky mansion. Horrified, Lucy realizes that someone -- or something -- is out to destroy her. Who? Why? Could it be her stepfather? Or the mysterious stranger who invades Satan's Rock to hunt for gold? Terrified, Lucy turns to the one person she trusts -- her fiance. As she looks into his eyes, she sees a glitter -- not of love, but of greed...

[Stacy]

Lucy Ashton lives in an old creepy mansion. There is a legend about "Black Satan", the ghost of a man who once lived there that kills anyone that tries to find the treasure that is underneath the house. When strange things begin happening, she doesn't know who she can trust. She is even cautious of her fiance who suddenly becomes interested in the treasure.

I really wish this was longer. I need more Edward and Lucy.
