    About this ebook

    "Tantalizing...Ms. Baker kept me intrigued and enthralled...a thought-provoking novel not to be missed."
    -Rendezvous

    The last of the Murrays...

    Christina Murray is elated to inherit her family's ancestral home in Scotland. But upon her arrival she is confronted by her breathtakingly handsome new neighbor, Ian Douglas...and an ancient family curse that comes with the castle.

    A violent legacy of passion...

    Seduced by Ian's easy Scottish charm by day, Christina dreams at night of three raven-haired beauties, ancestors who fell victim to the curse one generation after another: Katrine, the fiery Jacobite supporter who lost her heart to an Englishman; Jeanne, an accused witch; and Mairi, who shared a forbidden passion with the King of England.

    Now it's Christina's turn to lie in that cursed bed... and loving Ian might just cost her life.

    What Readers Say:

    "One of the most fascinating books I've ever read...Kept me up until 3 am!"

    "I'm delighted with Ms. Baker's style. It isn't often you find an author so adept at storytelling who also has a unique and beautiful command of the English language."

      This book has very good reviews and they are probably well deserved. The story is well written, her characters are developed.
      For me, I had a hard time keeping interest in the first few hundred pages. (There is 335 pages for the nook) It wasn't until the last hundred pages that I wanted to see what the outcome would be for these characters.
      The book is written in a format that starts in 1298 Scotland then jumps to the present, then back to the past, then to the present. with a lot of history surrounding the historical characters.
      It took me a long time to be able to finish the book, I was easily distracted from it. But to be fair that was just my experience. Not every book will catch or hold the attention of every reader. Doesn't make it a bad book, just a book that isn't for everyone.
      I have read other Jeanette Baker books I have really enjoyed, and will read her books in the future.
