Elspeth MacArthur is the child a Highland lad and Fairy lass, but it was her grandfather who raised her from the time she was a babe. The agreement made was that she would join her parents in Fairy on her twenty-first birthday unless she has met and married her true love. Donal MacArthur, Elspeth's grandfather, is a renown weaver of Scottish plaids partly in thanks to Fey folk enhancing his natural abilities and the speed of his weaving. Donal is further connected to the Fey because of a tithe he pays every seven years, but what the Fey truly want is their treasure back. A treasure that no one knows the location of or exactly what it might be.

It is the gift her mother bestowed before relinquishing her child, the gift of Second Sight, that unlocks the door to Elspeth's future. While in Edinburgh awaiting her turn to meet King George, Elspeth is introduced to Viscount James MacCarran who will usher her into the King's presence. She becomes memorable to James when she blurts out to Sir Walter Scott knowledge of his secretly published writings and she accurately describes his current work. As Sir Scott is a friend of his family, James knows the truth of her statements and wants to know how she discovered this information. When he takes her behind the large plant, it is to ask her to explain herself. Not to mention he is taken with her wit, her charm, and her beauty; the kiss they share isn't too shabby either.

Just a few weeks later, James takes up residence in his new Highland home as Lord Struan and Elspeth again with her grandfather on the neighboring land. When Elspeth is caught by a torrential downpour on Struan lands in the time of the fairy riding, it was exactly what the couple needed to begin their unique, and sometimes bumpy, courtship. A significant number of those bumps come from of James refusing to believe in the Fey folk. Yet it is Elspeth's fairy gift that shows her the memories of hurt and sadness that James keeps hidden from the world. Will this gift be the key to saving them both?

This could be labeled as Historical Romance because it happens in 1822 or it could be labeled as Paranormal Romance because it has magical beings, but it would be best just to say it's a very good story. The characters are all like-able and all the interwoven storylines are well- balanced. As James has three siblings, this could also be the start of a series. Wouldn't that be nice?
