Sea Jade

Synopsis

From a New York Times–bestselling author: In nineteenth-century New England, a desperate young woman&’s only refuge becomes an inescapable trap. It was fitting that Miranda Heath&’s first glimpse of the forbidding home at Bascomb&’s Point was in the fury of a thunderstorm. Despite her late father&’s caution to steer clear of his friend Obadiah Bascomb&’s New England mansion, Miranda, destitute as she was, had no choice but to accept the old captain&’s charitable request. Besides, her father and Obadiah&’s adventurous past was as much a part of her heritage as their legendary ship, the Sea Jade. But it&’s beyond Miranda&’s imaginings when she finds herself swept up in an impetuous marriage with a friend of the Bascomb family, a virtual stranger to her. More victim than bride, and at the mercy of her imposing new mother-in-law as well as Obadiah&’s mysterious wife and a threatening housekeeper, Miranda fears the invitation to the isolated house was more a matter of revenge than rescue. She has no way of knowing that buried in her own past is the key to a tragic mystery that&’s been left to her to solve—if she&’s to make it out of Bascomb&’s Point alive. The recipient of the Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement, Phyllis A. Whitney is &“a superb and gifted story teller&” (Mary Higgins Clark). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author&’s estate.
