*** Bride of Pendorric — Favel Farington knew very little about her new husband. When they met in Capri, the dashing young heir to Pendorric had swept the lovely English girl into marriage with the sudden fierceness of a summer storm. — It was all wonderfully exciting, until Favel discovered that someone was planning a very special place fo... more »r her in the family -- in the crypt with the other legendary "brides of Pendorric" who had all died so mysteriously, so tragically, and so young.

Suddenly the words "till death do us part" took on a new and ominous meaning....

*** The Shadow of the Lynx

Set in the wild Australian gold country and a gracious English mansion, this is a story of violent emotions, of great injustice and a grudge which lasted a lifetime. When Nora Tamsin arrives in Australia she finds herself under the guardianship of the powerful, terrifying, and irresistibly fascinating Charles Herrick, known as the Lynx. Everyone around her seems to be obsessed with the search for gold; an obsession so compulsive that it drives people from their homes to destitution, and even to death. Stirling Herrick wants it because his father did; and the Lynx himself seems determined to find it if only to exact some kind of revenge. Caught up in a violent world where life is held cheaply, Nora is both intoxicated by the gold rush climate and overwhelmed by the power of the mighty Lynx. Unable to desist, she becomes involved in his murderous schemes, returning to England, and to Whiteladies House.

*** King of the Castle

Dallas Lawson is determined to continue her dead father's work, but she finds her reception at Chateau Gaillard, where she is restoring the paintings, less than welcoming. She also finds that the enigmatic owner, the Comte de la Talle, is accused of murder by his own daughter.

*** Mistress of Mellyn

Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as she had envisioned... But what about its master -- Connan TreMellyn? Was Martha Leigh's new employer as romantic as his name sounded? As she approached the sprawling mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her. TreMellyn's young daugher, Alvean, proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose cool, arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil -- even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into Martha's life. Powerless against her growing desire for the enigmatic Connan, she is drawn deeper into family secrets -- as passion overpowers reason, sending her head and heart spinning. But though evil lurks in the shadows, so does love -- and the freedom to find a golden promise forever...

Jean Plaidy, Victoria Holt and Philippa Carr were the major pen-names of Eleanor Alice Burford Hibbert.
