"Tantalizing...Ms. Baker kept me intrigued and enthralled...a thought-provoking novel not to be missed."
*-Rendezvous*
The last of the Murrays...
Christina Murray is elated to inherit her family's ancestral home in Scotland. But upon her arrival she is confronted by her breathtakingly handsome new neighbor, Ian Douglas...and an ancient family curse that comes with the castle.
A violent legacy of passion...
Seduced by Ian's easy Scottish charm by day, Christina dreams at night of three raven-haired beauties, ancestors who fell victim to the curse one generation after another: Katrine, the fiery Jacobite supporter who lost her heart to an Englishman; Jeanne, an accused witch; and Mairi, who shared a forbidden passion with the King of England.
Now it's Christina's turn to lie in that cursed bed... and loving Ian might just cost her life.
**What Readers Say:**
"One of the most fascinating books I've ever read...Kept me up until 3 am!"
"I'm delighted with Ms. Baker's style. It isn't often you find an author so adept at storytelling who also has a unique and beautiful command of the English language."
### Review
Jeanette Baker has penned a classic Gothic novel, complete with a mysterious ancient home, an uncertain hero, and even a Mrs. Danvers-style housekeepe (*Fresh Fiction* 20110310)
A page turner full of surprises... *Legacy* is fascinating and spellbinding, imbued with the love of the Highlands, their history and lore. (*BookLoons.com* 20110316)
A great mystery that transcends generations. (*Literary Litter* 20110318)
A story that contains suspense, romance, time travel and Scottish history can only be a winner. (*Queen of Happy Endings* 20110328)
Baker did a great job of really capturing the Scottish legends and lore. (*Debbie's Book Bag* 20110328)
Fantastical fun all around. (*Broken Teepee* 20110331)
Enchanting... Quite entertaining and thought provoking. (*The Long and Short of It Reviews* 20110331)
The reader is instantly taken to Scotland and delivered to the midst of the settings, both past and present, feeling the 4 star work of this talented author (*Reviews by Molly* 20110404)
The story is well so researched and written that as each woman's story was told I felt as if I could imagine myself right in the story. (*Celtic Lady's Reviews* 20110405)
A multi-layered story that doesn't lose it in the details. Equal parts of mystery and romance, I enjoyed it thoroughly. (*Chick with Books* 20110415)
Baker kept me intrigued and surprised, completely living in the moment of the story. (*Dark Diva Reviews* 20110613)
A wonderfully engaging story. (*Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf* )
A real page turner and a great story... a wonderful novel full of romance, mystery, and a family curse that will leave you reading way too long into the night. (*Laura's Reviews* )
What made this book so fabulous, besides the writing, historical detail, believable and lively characters, sensuality and intriguing tension filled plot, was that we got to experience FOUR different time periods! (*History Undressed* )
