Ring the Bell Softly
James, Margaret
She was the penniless orphaned daughter of a ne'er-do-well, her future as bleak as life with her bitter Aunt Lavender. Then suddenly, astonishingly, Charis Lindfield became an heiress, free to claim the estate of a man she had never even met!

Her solicitor begged Charis to sell Barley Farm. It was haunted, people whispered. A house of the dead. But Charis ignored the warnings. How could she guess that Barley House would become a trap of terror, black magic, and murder or that she would be possessed by dreams of the devil himself, Dion Mallory, her handsome, surly neighbor. No one--living or dead--could drive her away from the house that hate built, from a love that defied reason. They would have to kill her first!
