Stranger at Plantation Inn (Classic Gothics Collection Book 1)

A Jennifer Blake Classic! Romantic gothic suspense set in the Deep South in the late 1800s.

Lillian Newton isn't the only stranger at Plantation Inn. The heavy rains that had flooded the river and forced her to seek refuge at the old stage-stop had driven others to the sanctuary as well.

At first, Lillian pays scant attention to the rest of the group. Soon, however, rumors of an escaped killer -- an outlaw whose vicious deeds have terrorized the countryside -- spread a chill blanket of unease over the charming old house.

Then inexplicable things begin to happen: the stalking shadow glimpsed through the trees, the cat whose throat has been cut, the mysterious crying of an infant... Lillian is suddenly suspicious of everyone. Especially the handsome young Frenchman, Jean Marsh, whose arrogant manner arouses a curious inner fury she can't define.

The killer is one of them. Of that she's certain. But which one? And how long before he strikes again?
