Lady Margaret Grey of Hartfell wants for nothing. The daughter of a knight, she has a loving family, wealth, and even a secret romance with the blacksmith's son. But all that is torn from her one fateful night when her home is attacked and her family killed. She is left with nothing but bitterness, an unwavering mistrust of men, and a strange and mysterious curse that allows her to feel the thoughts of anyone who touches her.

Now, after six years away, Margaret is returning home for one reason: revenge. She hopes that by avenging her family's deaths, she will somehow be freed from her curse. But it won't be easy. The identities of the raiders are still unknown, she has little left to her name, and traveling alone in the Northumbrian hills during the border wars is dangerous. Matters are further complicated by handsome Angus Robson, a Scotsman whose charm threatens to distract her from her plans. But the raiders are closer than she knows, and Margaret soon realizes that what she believed to be a curse may be the key to finding those she seeks. One touch will reveal the truth.

My Review: 5 Stars  

There are elements of danger and excitement embedded within these pages that once again confirm that while these times and events are entertaining, I would never survive actually living in them.

Margaret is one brave, strong, and stubborn woman! She is intent on finding out who is responsible for killing off her family and for leaving her with a curse. This curse is slightly fascinating, yet disturbing, and aids her in her quest. I loved how this component gives such an interesting aspect to this tale.

Angus is such a persistent sweetheart. Am I allowed to say that about this tough Scotsman? It's all in the little things that he does to show he cares. That's what endeared him to me and I loved the role he plays in supporting Margaret.

These really are dangerous situations and I really enjoyed the adventure and mystery, as I immersed myself in this book.
