Katie Price is baffled when a man claiming to be her grandfather leaves her his entire estate in the Scottish Highlands. The bulk of the estate consists of a thriving whisky distillery and a moldering castle, where the eccentric old man actually lived until his death. The will stipulates that Katie must travel to Scotland and claim her inheritance in person.

As Katie’s stay extends from weeks into months, she uncovers the secret that led to her mother’s birth, and begins to unravel a 250-year-old mystery surrounding the beautiful young wife of the last laird of Clan McBride. According to local lore, Isobel McBride vanished from the castle without a trace shortly after the Battle of Culloden, and some believe that her ghost still walks the battlements at night. A strange dream in Isobel’s tower room leads Katie to Isobel’s hiding place, where she discovers love letters from a man other than Isobel’s husband, his initials being the only clue to his identity.

As Katie begins to unearth the clues to Isobel’s fate, she embarks on a romantic journey of her own and finds a new life she never expected.

Author's note: Due to several complaints, the book has been extensively re-edited as of July 20, 2013.

Story is ok. My pet peeve is when a voice actor/author/publisher doesn'take sure that the accents are not done authentically. Isn't that their job??

Language seemed simple and without surprises or depth. I gave up. Also American pronunciation was bothering me but that’s a personal thing

I find this author so good at talking about going back in time, this one is no different. I love a good love story and this was a good one, and of course tragedy too

It is difficult to enjoy a story when the reader is tough to listen to. I think the reader should learn how to perfect an accent before performing it! Listening to a bad accent here and there is grating in my nerves
