What it feels like
Reading this book feels like wrapping yourself in a tartan blanket while a storm rages outside a Highland castle. It balances the cozy thrill of a classic historical romance with a propulsive undercurrent of mystery and danger. The narrative moves at a brisk, engaging pace, driven by the crackling tension and sharp banter between a fiercely determined heroine and a brooding, emotionally walled-off hero. There is a delightful push-and-pull to their dynamic, steeped in the familiar, satisfying tropes of forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers. The prose is lively and atmospheric, painting a vivid picture of rugged Scottish landscapes and shadowy secrets. It is a perfect escape for readers who love their historical romances laced with a touch of mystical suspense, high emotional stakes, and a deeply satisfying, hard-won happily ever after.

About the book
A mysterious abductor...
Someone is holding her brother prisoner in exchange for a gold-and-onyx box covered in mysterious runes, so Mary Hurst boldly sets out from the family vicarage to find the priceless artifact. But the man who possesses it, Angus Hay, the Earl of Erroll, is less than sympathetic to her plight.
A forbidding stranger...
Himself a prisoner of his dark past, Angus refuses to yield the box—or allow Mary to leave! Suspicious of the alluring lass's mission, he vows to wrest a confession from her, but unearths a fiery temper and a will as strong as his own.
An unbreakable curse...
Passion flares between them, but now there is more at stake: an unknown enemy is hunting down the precious box, and will stop at nothing. Risking all for love, Angus must solve the mystery behind the runes... and trust the only woman who can awaken his forgotten heart.
