The Lost Heiress A Novel

From the author of All These Beautiful Strangers comes a haunting and operatic tale of the love, regret, and family secrets that beat in the dark heart of a towering cliffside mansion. Wealthy heiress Saoirse Towers vanished during her eighteenth birthday gala four decades ago. Now her remains have finally been found under Cliffhaven, the aristocratic family's mansion high atop the windswept Central Coast of California. But the mystery only deepens...for her skeleton is not alone. In vibrant 1982, Ana Rojas arrives to care for the supposedly frail Saoirse, who turns out to be a beautiful, spirited young woman straining against her family's standards. But Ana bears secrets of her own. She's come to Cliffhaven with a hidden agenda, one complicated by her growing feelings for Saoirse's handsome brother. But it's formidable housekeeper Florence Talbot who truly holds the key to the past--a locked box teeming with secret betrayal, forbidden love, and hard-won redemption. Casting a long shadow, one tragedy binds the three women's lives together. And as the truth about Saoirse's fate and those it entangled comes to light, the legacy of Cliffhaven will be forever changed.
