Jill’s 21st birthday is more than just a milestone. It marks the day her life changes forever. A letter arrives on the morning of the big day: an invitation to travel to Crag House on the remote Scottish island of Inver to stay with her grandfather. Jill’s mother died during childbirth, and as her family had never approved of her father, they were both cut off after her death. Consequently, Jill had never known her grandfather and she arrives on the island full of apprehension. But her grandfather seems more than happy to see her, and the estate he owns is beautiful. Even better, it seems he is planning to leave it all to Jill. But she soon meets her surly cousins, Owen and George, who clearly have other plans… As Jill settles in and begins to fall for their handsome neighbour, Robert, she starts to think she could start a life on the island. But as the increasingly hostile behaviour of her suspicious cousins reveals a chilling web of deception, she begins to fear for her life. Jill’s whole future hangs in the balance as she is confronted by ghosts of the past, new friendships and love. House of Fear is a chilling romantic thriller set in the Scottish countryside. Phyllis Mallett is the author of several historical and contemporary romances and mysteries, including Her Searching Heart, Deadly Inheritance, Tides of Love and The Heart is Torn.
