The Lost Bride of Kildrummond — Lois Stewart

She inherited a fortune...and a deadly secret!

"Why don't you go away? You're not wanted here."

Kirstie MacDonell nearly wept with joy to learn that she was no longer penniless and alone, but a Scottish laird's long-lost granddaughter and heiress to his castle and lands. Far more eager to become a part of her new family than to claim her inheritance, Kirstie hastened to remote Kildrummond Castle and her new life.

But her high spirits turned to dread when the door of the vast castle opened and raven-haired Kirstie met the cold stares of the fair-haired family who awaited her. Still hoping to win the love and trust of her new relatives, Kirstie tried to ignore her cousin Ian Cameron's icy gaze and to overlook the tact that he was next in line as the heir to the great Scottish estate...and desperate to take his place as Laird of Kildrummond and Earl of Carrickmore.

Could it be he who was causing the small accidents she was having...even the death of her kitten? Could he have left the ominous Tarot card on her bed -- the card that foretold no future at all? Kirstie knew she should leave Kildrummond while she still had the chance, but escaping the gathering storm of terror was to prove more perilous than staying...for it was just outside the castle walls that a new terror awaited her.
