The Talisman

Susan MacLarkie left California to claim her husband Bart's ancestral lands in Scotland, and to forget. Yet memories haunt her still of the car accident that killed Bart. And here amid the heather, she finds a mystery surrounding the name MacLarkie, an unspoken secret showing in the wary eyes of the local Scots. And more unexpected is the desire that floods her when she first meets Hugh Greggan, Earl of Strathburne. Yet even in his arms, an icy fear grips Susan's heart, for the very wind seems to whisper that her husband's accident was murder and now someone is trying to kill her too.
