Robert Louis Stevenson’s fascination with the mid-18th Century Jacobite rebellion in Scotland led to the production of his classic Kidnapped, along with its later sequel, Catriona. The Master of Ballantrae—written only a couple years after Kidnapped—shares the same evocative historical setting.

Amber has an odd talent (she’ll call it a curse). She can see—and sometimes communicate with— ghosts. Bored but resigned, Amber thinks she has finally found a good rhythm for her life – helping those in need by using her psychic-medium gift to find a missing family heirloom or speak to their ‘dearly departed’ Aunt Matilda. All with the help of her ghost assistant, of course. When a young man is murdered, everything changes for Amber. Her investigation leads her to Esteban, the tall, golden, easy-smiling Puerto Rican with ropy muscles and a twinkle in his eye. Esteban hears her story about the newspaper boy, and decides that – even with a crazy story like this one – he’ll go against his own rules of “no love, just dogs” for Amber. Amber and Esteban seem perfect...

Mr. Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, is eager to arrange a lucrative and socially advantageous match for her daughter, Anne. Of course, her ladyship has not taken into account such frivolous matters as love or romance, let alone the wishes of her daughter. Needless to say, there is much turmoil when the bride-to-be elopes. Their pursuit of the headstrong couple leads the Darcys to the village of Mansfield, where the usually intricate game of marriage machinations becomes still more convoluted by lies and deception. There, the Darcys discover that love and marriage can be a complex and dangerous business — one that can even lead to...
