Things might change when Glyn Howe comes home to marry her, but she hadn't heard from him for weeks. His indifference, caused by worries of his own which he is unwilling to share, encourages Lydia to be attracted to newly-arrived Matthew Hiatt.
When the skeleton of a young woman is found buried in the grounds of a castle near Swansea, memories and rumours are unearthed with it. Suspicion surrounds the Jones's and the Howe's, and Lydia is determined to solve the mystery that threatens the happiness of those she loves.
But even Aunt Stella has a secret which is revealed during the search for the murderer of the young woman found in her lonely unmarked grave. Lydia has to face great danger before realising she has put her trust in the wrong person.
