As lovely heiress Jan Olney approached Ballantine Lodge, its redwood walls glowed with the colour of blood in the morning sun. And Jan was suddenly afraid.
All during the drive from the little train station in Mercer, Bill had insisted nothing was wrong at Ballantine Lodge. Yet he urged her to leave—quickly. However, whatever danger she faced, Jan couldn’t leave—not until she had comforted Ellen.
Then she heard of the Ballantine curse from handsome Ian Ballantine and uncovered some of the dark secrets in that shrouded house. Now that she knew too much, would she never be allowed to leave.. .alive?
