Lady Margaret Grant wants for nothing. Her life of rank and privilege shields her from anything that might displease her—until her father arranges to wed her to an allied laird, thus ruining her hopes of marrying the man she loves. Heartbroken and crushed, her only solace is making others as miserable as she is. Tempting fate is never wise and when the headstrong lass oversteps one boundary too many, this time risking all, she receives a final chance to avert tragedy. Margaret awakens in a beautiful glen, her soul freed from her body. Not quite dead, but not alive either.
The guardian of the glen offers her a way to regain life. Margaret must give a gift she’s never given anyone—remorse. But the price is steep and the stakes are high, especially when she loses her heart to a man who can never be hers. With the possibility of true love so tempting, can she keep the bargain? Or will her soul be lost forever?
