An earring, a murder, a legend...
Katherine St. Claire has never forgotten the passionate
night she shared with a stranger while staying at a castle
hotel called Duncreag. He even haunts her dreams. Tired of
loving "Fantasy Man", as her brother Jeff refers to him,
she decides to go back to Duncreag in search, literally, of
the man of her dreams.
Iain Mackintosh wears the cairngorm earring of the only
woman he will ever love. Eight long years ago she came to
him in the night like a vision. News of his father's death
brings Iain home to Duncreag where he finds himself
questioning the circumstances surrounding his father's
demise and wishing for the woman his cousin Ranald is
convinced is a fairy.
Iain and Katherine arrive at Duncreag each longing to find
the other. There is however a seemingly insurmountable
problem. A five hundred and thirty-year barrier separates
them. What follows is the story of a love so powerful it
crosses the boundaries of time. Complicated by murder and
abduction in the fifteenth century their love will be
tested even after they finally reunite. Only Jeff's
twentieth century discovery of events from the past can
save them.
