Blurb: From Book.

Much to her surprise, Devin Noone inherits a Scottish Castle and with it the title of Lady. Devin conjures up images of knights on white chargers, fair-haired damsels in distress and, fire-breathing dragons. She's never imagined what she'd get in addition to the Castle—a seaweed covered canine and a two hundred year old specter, Lord Kyle MacLay. Devin always believed that her cousin's tales of Castle Loch Haven's haunted past had been just that—tales. Yet, here the Laird was in the flesh, so to speak. At Kyle's request, Devin agrees to help him solve the mystery that's kept him trapped, unable to pass on to the next life. Having heard the story of the kidnapping of MacLay's fiancée, Lady Elsbeth Morehead, and of his own alleged suicide. As time goes by, she falls helplessly under his sensual spell, and knows she will do anything he asks.

Review:

There is one problem I have with this story. Once I started I couldn’t put in down. Ms Shenberger had me intrigued the whole way through from the prologue to the Epilogue. She has woven characters to fall in love with; Devin is a wonderful heroine full of adventure and spirit. Lord Kyle MacLay is every girls dream specter. One minute I wanted Devin to find a way to help The Laird pass through to the other side, the next I was hoping he would be able to stay with Devin forever.

The end brings a true fairy tale finish for the happy ever after. Well worth a read.
