become enamored of her hypnotic stories. With a smidge of mystical, Ms. York has spun her web of sultriness and gained a fan in me.

Ghosts, hauntings and curses are part and parcel of this story.
Lana Dounreay, sister of Hannah and Susannah from books one and two, is considered a bit “off” since she claims to interact with ghosts. She wants a husband and family but fears she may never find a man willing to be with her because of what others consider her affliction.
Lachlan Sinclair, Duke of Caithness, lost his parents when a baby and was raised in England by a relative. His main companion has been his cousin Dougal. Having been told his entire life that he is cursed and will die beforehe is thirty he returns home to rebuild the family home. He wants a wife, family and future but has vowed not to bring another Sinclair into the world to suffer the curse of his family line.
When Lana and Lachlan meet they are immediately aware of and attracted to one another. Whether or not they will act on this attraction and have a future together is a big question.
In addition to the love story there are plots, liars, scoundrels, ghosts, and other issues to deal with. The people of books one and two of the trilogy are included in this novel and play significant roles in giving Lachlan a clearer view of what it means to be Laird of the lands he is responsible for.
