In THE BRIDES OF BELLENMORE, lovely young Elizabeth Bellenmore comes to London to live with her wealthy grandmother. From the moment of her arrival, Elizabeth senses that beneath the elegant facade of the Manchester Square mansion lies a quicksand of unspeakable evil. Someone in her grandmother's house wants her dead! A pair of hands has reached out to push her down the curving stairwell that has already claimed two lives!

To whom do those hands belong? Her grandmother, who considers honor more important than life? Aunt Geraldine, whose kindly manner masks a will of iron? Her cousin James, whose advances she rejects? James's beautiful wife Armorel, whose jealousy is akin to insanity? Or Mark, the man Elizabether loves...Mark, whose first wife lost her life so tragically at Bellenmore House?

What is the secret of the Bellenmores that binds them together unto death, that makes a frightened young girl -- whom someone believes is a threat to that secret -- a stranger in her own family?
