From Booklist
Lady Eleanor Wycliffe is so devastated when her brother informs her that the man she wants to marry may really be her half-brother she flees to the highlands. Out of money and loathe to return home knowing she is illegitimate, she becomes governess to the mute young daughter of island-dwelling Gabriel MacFeagh, Viscount of Dunevin, known as the Devil of Dunevin. Finding her employer more than aloof and totally estranged from his daughter, Eleanor delves into the mystery shadowing his life and discovers an ancient curse that he believes will destroy anyone he loves. As Eleanor brings love and joy into young Juliana's life, she realizes that Gabriel is not the evil laird he has been made out to be, and, falling in love with him, she strives to vanquish the curse and find its all-too-real executor. Reding, author of White Knight (1999) and White Magic (1998) and the queen of regency-era Scottish romance, enticingly portrays a compellingly evoked wild landscape and its resilient denizens.
