Victoria Holt's books do follow a set pattern (you can normally guess who's going to get killed and which man the heroine will end up with), nevertheless they are still well written and enjoyable. (

One of the first "adult" books I ever read, and it hooked me in. I went on to read every Victoria Holt novel, and eventually owned them all.

Book description

From the moment young Suewellyn caught her first glimpse of the Mateland family castle, she knew she had to possess it. But how could the beautiful illegitimate child ever aspire to such a dream? The answer lay in a perilous deception. Her masquerade succeeded -- too well. Caught in a web of her own creation, Suewellyn found herself faced with a final, desperate choice between happiness and life itself...
"I am trapped. I am caught in a web, and it is small comfort to me that that web is of my own weaving. When I think of the magnitude of what I have done I am overcome by a numb terror. I have behaved in a wicked manner."
