A Highland legend, an ancient curse, and a dangerous love...
Scandal nearly destroyed Christina Blackburn when she posed for a provocative painting that shocked Victorian Scotland. Now, a widow and antiquarian for the National Museum, she hides her beauty and her past behind prim spectacles and cool reserve. Sent to a Highland estate to authenticate an Arthurian site, she encounters the infamous painting, owned by handsome, compelling Sir Aedan MacBride of Dundrennan, who intends to build a government road through the site even if the museum tries to stop him.
Laird, civil engineer, and avowed bachelor, Aedan is fascinated by the painting depicting a legendary Dundrennan princess, yet dismisses its curse, which forbids his line from marrying for love. When he meets the painting's model, the prim scholar determined to halt his plans, she challenges his beliefs-and his heart.
Ancient Highland secrets, Arthuriana, and threats collide as Christina and Aedan unravel the mystery of a long-ago love-and the curse that could ruin all...
