It all began with the turn of a card in a seedy gambling den. In 1920 the Burton-Masseys lost their home, Pendleton Grange, their lands and several businesses in the heart of Bolton, including Massey's Yort. Reduced to a life of hardship, Alex Burton-Massey's widow and three daughters took refuge in Caldwell Farm, all that was left of their former wealth.
James Mulligan was the man who now owned their lands, and Massey's Yort quickly became known as Mulligan's Yard. He was a silent brooding character whose manners teetered on the brink of rudeness, but in spite of this many women found him attractive. Who was he? What was he? Did he hide a dark secrret in the cellars of Pendleton Grange? And why did he involve hilmself so deeply in the lives of the Burton-Massey girls?
