When bullies threaten Aurelia Lacey and her five-year-old daughter Nell, they are rescued by an old friend, Jason Durand, younger brother of an earl. Jason, once a daring spy, has fallen into depression and drunkenness since the war, but he rallies long enough to offer the outcasts the shelter of his brother's country seat, Stonebridge Castle. But the ancient castle is not the quiet refuge they expected.
Aurelia and Jason-both lost souls from the war against Napoleon-must deal with a bevy of hedonistic house guests, seven hundred years of ghosts, multiple murders, and a chance-a very slim chance-that love will triumph over all. Author's Note: Although ghosts are prominent in "Secrets, " they appear as characters, not creatures of horror. And there is more emphasis on romance than in my previous Gothic novels.
