Book Description:
In a bleak, landlocked keep on the English moors, Iolanthe MacLeod dreams of the sea--and of a darkly handsome man to come rescue her. Centuries have passed and she feels she has waited in vain. Until now. Thomas McKinnon is used to attaining impossible heights, both in business and in the mountains he loves. But when the chance to restore a twelfth-century castle comes his way, he gamely takes hammer in hand and crosses the Atlantic, expecting to find nothing more interesting inside his new home than cobwebs and weeds. But in that ancient, crumbling castle, the fierce, restless spirit of a medieval Scottish woman lives on--a woman so haunting that he would do anything, go anywhere, risk everything to make her his forever...

This is a true spin on the traditional "ghost story" because this story is both an ghost story, an romance and also an humourous story. Many times I found myself chuckling outloud as I read.

A bit of Medieval Scottland collides with a modern day romantic hero When Thomas McKinnon decides to buy and restore a 12th century castle. This novel is hugely romantic, the plot surprising and creative. If you like a bit of ghost story in your romances, you'll love this book!
