Castle of Shadows

LOST PARADISE

She had spent the summers of her childhood there. amid the wild splendor of Strath off the west coast of Scotland, Dunmoore Castle had been her castle in the clouds, the island her kingdom, and cousin Alec her dark prince. Then, abruptly, the idyll ended. Something irrevocable had happened between her father and Uncle Charlie. Something no one would talk about...

Now, as a young woman, Olivia Drummond was returning to Dunmoore, grateful for Uncle Charlie's invitation after her father's death. But in place of palatial splendor, she found a bleak and crumbling shell. Instead of a chivalrous prince, Alec was a brooding, enigmatic stranger with torment in his eyes. And rather than carefree innocence, Olivia found only fear -- a paralyzing fear that she was a helpless pawn in a secret conspiracy. And that her memories of lost summers had imprisoned her within a dark and deadly Castle of Shadows.
