Books like Alexa by Victoria Holt

Name: Alexa
Author: Victoria Holt

Alexa, impulsive, gay and very appealing, stands out against a vivid background of live people. There are Rollo, the passionate yet reluctant lover; Kathryn who is afraid of the past; cold Sylvester and clever Irene; gay Delia and kind Sir Frederick; Ethel who is angry with life, and Frank who is bewildered by it. The uneasy atmosphere of impending tragedy pervades the book until that breathtaking climax in Alexa stands face to face with horror in the misty wood. This is a story of laughter and thrills, of tragedy and comedy, of a great fear which was overcome by love... a fine novel that will hold the reader's attention to the last word.

First publish date: 1948

by Victoria Holt

Dark Secrets. Lost Treasure. Delicious Scandal. Anna Brett fears she's doomed to be a governess to an English family for the rest of her life. But when the dashing captain Redvers Stretton struts back into her life, she is whisked away from the bleak English countryside forever. But is that such a good thing? While the charming blue-eyed captain makes Anna forget her troubled past, he is hiding dark secrets of his own. It's no coincidence that Stretton's ship is named The Secret Woman. During their voyage to the South Seas, with a murder dogging her steps and the mystery of a missing treasure haunting her dreams, Anna is forced to confront the clever captain—a man who may have just as many secrets as she.
