Gulls Walk Barbara Nugent

When her beloved grandfather dies suddenly, Rowena inherits Gulls Walk, the Elizabethan manor where Pentraegons have lived for over four hundred years. Desperate to keep her crumbling ancestral home, though with little  money to maintain it or pay the looming death duties, she decides to lease the East Wing. Surely the tenant her lawyer plans to send her will be quiet and elderly and won't mind the isolation of the rugged Cornish coast line.
But when Roberto Olivares arrives, she finds the reality is utterly different. Why has this tall, dynamic, obviously wealthy Spaniard chosen to stay in such a lonely place? And why is he so arrogantly critical and suspicious? What is the evil mystery of which he believes Rowena to be a part?
From a summer ball to a dangerous escape at sea, this action-packed thriller leads to a startling discovery of unexpected treasure, and of those who are guilty of criminal activities and attempted murder in Pentraegon Bay.
