House of Men

When Kate Mitchell was offered the job of part-time secretary at Tor-Fret, a lonely old house on the Northumberland fells, she had no idea that the household was composed only of men.



Her employer, Maurice Rossiter, an embittered victim of polio, was subject to alternate fits of temper and depression. Even so, Kate found it difficult to understand his peculiar hatred of his elder brother Logan, on whose charity Maurice was obliged to depend. But when she accidentally stumbled upon Maurice with Logan’s fiancée, she became aware of some of the secrets of Tor-Fret and realised she was getting too deeply involved with Logan Rossiter and the other inhabitants of this mysterious household. House of Men was originally published under the pseudonym Catherine Marchant and is a powerful story of dark secrets and passion.
