Determined to suppress her passions and keep her true identity secret, Christina is sent to Scotland for an archaeological expedition. There she confronts the very painting that has haunted her, now owned by the alluring and enigmatic Sir Aedan Arthur MacBride. MacBride knows the local legend of the sleeping maiden but doubts its curse—yet when he meets the living embodiment of the maid in the painting, he realizes the legend may hold more truth than he suspected.
