THE PATH TO HER DESTINY LIES IN SOLVING A CENTURIES-OLD MYSTERY
Emmie Tunstall is in over her head. Not yet thirty, and she’s been hired as curator at Tullybrae House. A three-hundred year old manor in the Scottish Highlands, Tullybrae has more antique and historically significant artefacts than a museum. It will fall to Emmie to inspect, research and catalogue every last one.
Of the work itself, she is more than capable. But what Emmie doesn’t know is that she and Lamb, Tullybrae’s loyal butler, are not the only ones inhabiting the rambling, three-story mansion. She will soon realize that Tullybrae is also home to the ghosts of a little girl, a former countess, and even Lamb’s own long-deceased mother.
And there is another ghost: an unknown Highlander. Nothing survives of his name, his clan, even his death. Yet he is the one whose presence Emmie senses most strongly, and she becomes determined to solve his mystery. It is here that she is in over her head, for in uncovering his story, she may be uncovering the path to her own destiny.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
UNPUTDOWNABLE
“Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful romantic love story! Started last night and have been reading since I got up this morning. The Scottish setting with all of the incredible details, the characters of Emmie and Lamb, and the Highlander drew me in immediately. I am ready for a trip to Scotland. This is not a typical ghost story. The character development is excellent for all the main and secondary characters. What a wonderfully entertaining book!"
THE EMOTIONAL DEPTH OF THIS STORY ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF.
“WOW!! This book totally held me fascinated from start to finish. I cannot recall a book that elicited such a depth of emotion from me, as though I was the main character. The descriptions of the countryside, the house and people in the story are vivid and detailed. While reading the story, I WAS Emmaline. I cried with her and was able to feel her sorrow. I bought this book for my Kindle, but alas, I now will purchase a copy to have in my personal library. Well done Veronica! I cannot offer too much praise for this book, it was that good. “
