Lady Caroline Forrester has few options. Her half-brother is pushing her to accept an offer of marriage, but the men doing the asking appeal not at all. With her choices narrowing and her freedom threatened, Caroline does the only thing she can think of—she flees. A chance encounter with a Scot on a dark London street reminds her of her grandmother's stories about Scotland. Since Scotland is just about the last place her brother would look for her, Caroline makes her choice. Her decision leads her to Glenorne Castle and the new Earl of Glenorne, Alec McNabb. Their romance is complicated by Alec's almost engagement to another woman, a family curse, and the ghosts trying to fix it all.
VERDICT Cornwall (The Secret Life of Lady Julia) balances the deeper emotional elements of the story with a nice amount of humor and lightness in this first title in her new series. A combination that will appeal to fans of Julia Quinn and Kasey Michaels.
