The Property of a Gentleman

Strange inheritance... In the wild magnificence of the Lake District stands Thirlbeck, remote and ancient seat of the Earls of Askew. To Joanna Roswell, arriving from a famous London auction house to examine its contents, Thirlbeck is like something from a fairy story, with its priceless diamond, superb paintings and furniture, all locked away from the inquisitive world. But the great house broods on other secrets - ancient scandals and curses which have haunted a noble birthright through the centuries. And gradually Joanna finds herself drawn into a strangely ominous situation, which seems to offer her the happiness and love she seeks, and at the same time threatens her very existence...
