Zarabeth has always loved Egan McDonald, the one person whose thoughts she's never been able to read. Now, fleeing from a husband who wants her dead, her only refuge is in Egan's remote Scottish castle. There, she not only finds the handsome, charming, aggravating Egan, but also an ancient curse, Egan's large, boisterous (and nosy) family, debutants determined to land Egan in marriage, and dark secrets from Egan's past.
