Meet Grace Wheaton, lover of history and mystery-- both of which can be found in her hometown's palatial Marshfield Manor...

Although shaken by the murder, Grace Wheaton, whose lifelong dream has been to work at the manor, steps up to the challenge of assuming Abe's job. Bur now some of the letters arriving for Bennett have taken a nasty turn, demanding millions--or else. When an uninvited stalker shows up at the manor and at Grace's home, she and handsome groundskeeper Jack Embers must protect their dear old Marshfield. But to do this, they'll have to investigate a botched Ponzi scheme, some torrid Wheaton family secrets--and sour grapes out for revenge...
