Return to Darkness
Do I know you?
Brianne Jorgensen was tired, to the point of exhaustion; she badly needed a vacation from the pressures of being a private duty nurse. She looked forward only to the chance to escape from other people's problems and pampered illnesses. But when she learned about Simon Ruechelle, bedridden after a stroke, she leaped at the chance to pierce the curtain of darkness that hid her mother's family - the family her mother denied.
But Brianne's introduction to the Ruechelles of Cliffside Manor was not at all what she expected. Rather than the long-delayed family reunion she dreamed of, she found a house of hatred and secret tensions... and the hatred seemed to be directed against Brianne herself! Then a strange series of accidents commenced - accidents that seemed to prove that someone was trying to kill her!
