Simon MacKay, the last
Earl of Cleitmuir, was murdered two hundred years ago because of his family’s
dangerous legacy. Alone and cursed he haunts his home in order to protect
the lost treasure. A pastime leaved him angry and embittered until he
meets a feisty American tourist. Not only is Laurel sexy and beautiful,
she can also see him in his ghostly form.
Antiquities expert,
Laurel Saville, leaves Chicago to visit her best friend in the romantic
Scottish Highlands. She is saved from a tragic fall by the ghostly
Simon. Once she realizes she is not crazy, she pledges to help him find
his family’s missing artifact. A pledge hindered by treasure hunter Alex
MacKenzie, a descendant of the clan that murdered Simon.
Laurel risks everything,
including her life, to help Simon resolve the issues keeping him earth
bound. But will she lose him forever or is there a way Laurel can keep
him with her on this earthly plane?
Excerpt
“Well, lass. That was about
the stupidest thing I’ve ever witnessed.”
Laurel jerked upwards at
the low angry brogue. Stupid? She’d fallen off a horse, for crying
out loud. It happens.
She peered into the dense
fog trying to get a glimpse of the disembodied Scot. The thick mist swirled,
thinned, and parted to reveal a pair of well- worn, brown riding boots with red
cuffs at the top. Her eyes climbed higher, following the boots to a pair of
large muscular thighs encased in dark-colored breeches. Her eyes continued
upward, past the flat stomach, which led to a broad chest and shoulders covered
in a mostly unbuttoned white shirt.
She craned her neck and
finally saw his face. Roughly chiseled, he had a square jaw with high
cheekbones, a slightly off-centered nose, and full lips pursed into a frown.
She forced herself to meet his eyes, and her jaw dropped. The light gray eyes
were almost opalescent against his dark lashes and black shoulder- length
hair—eyes that pierced right thorough her.
“Every bloody year the
tourists just get dumber,” he declared.
She clamped her mouth shut
on a sharp retort and shook her head. “Gee, thanks for your concern. It’s not
like I planned to fall off.” She started to push off the ground, but her right
arm collapsed under her. Before she could fall back, the man reached her side
and grabbed her good arm, pulling her to her feet.
