Melanie was intrigued when a distant relative left her his house, Monkshood, in a village miles from anywhere in the Highlands of Scotland. Common sense told her that, as she was soon going to marry a London solicitor, she would not be able seriously to consider living at Monkshood; nevertheless she very much wanted to see if for herself before deciding what to do next. Then she learned that the ominously named Sean Bothwell looked on it as his property - and it did seem he had moral grounds for doing so. But still Melanie could not commit herself to parting with the place. Did her reluctance to give it up have anything to do with her reactions to Sean?
